Hermann Hesse

1,842 books20.1k followers
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.

É preciosa a oportunidade, que por fortuito acaso ou predestinado direito, das abandonadas estantes de uma livraria remota, jazesse de pé este pedaço esbranquiçado de literatura, a sua capa manchada e desgasta, preenchida daquelas manchas acizentadas, do pó que sempre paira impercétivel no ar, das cinzas que escaparam ao cinzeiro, da fuligem da chaminé, de toda a matéria que com o tempo a brisa arrasta, o ar suspende, e por fim se deposita dia a dia despercebidamente, e como nada disso o olho humano soubesse dar conta, e como se de espíritos ou fantasmas se tratasse, de todos os livros da loja, era este apenas, o único de Hesse, imundo, usado, mas necessariamente altivo e brilhante, mas precioso e cativante, por ser de "Música", por ser de Hesse e por ter uma idade maior que a minha, por ter já ser defunto da idade que a literatura enche a minha vida.
