Freude am Garten. Betrachtungen und Gedichte.

Rate this book
Etwa die Hlfte seines Lebens hatte Hermann Hesse einen eigenen Garten. Diese grtnerische Scheinarbeit war, wie er sagte, seine Zuflucht aus der Welt des Papiers. Sie war ihm auch behilflich beim Fortspinnen von Phantasiefden, zur Meditation und Kontemplation. Die schnsten dieser Schilderungen, von der 1908 entstandenen Betrachtung Im Garten bis zu der berhmten Hexameter-Idylle Stunden im Garten, fat unser Band mit zahlreichen Fotos und Aquarellen des Dichters erstmals zusammen.

About the author

Hermann Hesse

Many works, including Siddhartha (1922) and Steppenwolf (1927), of German-born Swiss writer Hermann Hesse concern the struggle of the individual to find wholeness and meaning in life; he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946.

Other best-known works of this poet, novelist, and painter include The Glass Bead Game , which, also known as Magister Ludi, explore a search of an individual for spirituality outside society.

In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in the country, received enthusiastically Peter Camenzind , first great novel of Hesse.

Throughout Germany, people named many schools. In 1964, people founded the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis, awarded biennially, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of work of Hesse to a foreign language. The city of Karlsruhe, Germany, also associates a Hermann Hesse prize.

Tohle určitě není kniha, jakou s Hessem začít. Jako soubor různých textů a fragmentů jde o opravdu specifický dílo. Dost rozumím té ambivalenci v hodnoceních tady…

ALE líbí se mi, že můžu pořád objevovat Hesseho myšlení a život a v Radostech zahradníka to byla zahradnická jemnost, samotářství, práce na zachování duše. Moc mě tahle jemná knížka plná darovaných kreseb i autorských akvarelů potěšila. Jen od ní nelze čekat něco, co není.

Tak snad brzy zas, Hermanne. 🤍

Eine absolut meisterhafte Sammlung, die sehr gut seine Gewandtheit zur Natur einfängt.

閱讀時會有平靜的感覺,文字帶領人進入另一時空。
但如果可以,建議一天看1-2篇就好,一次完讀會有畫面疲憊感。
