About the author

Hermann Hesse

1,822 books19.8k 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.

Das hat irgendwie Spaß gemacht :D Werde die Gedichte, die ich am schönsten fand, bei Instagram posten und zusehen wie meine Follower an Cringe sterben. It ain't much, but it's honest work.

Hermann Hesse hat mir beigebracht, dass Deutsch eine schöne Sprache sein kann.

... samo ti i ja potopljeni
u dubokoj vasioni,
u dubokom moru,
mi smo izgubljeni,
i opet umiremo i opet se rađamo"

Wirklich eine tolle Sammlung von wunderschönen Gedichten.
Vor allem von "Gestutzte Eiche" und "Voll Blüten" bin ich sehr angetan, aber auch die meisten anderen Gedichte sind sehr schön.
Die Themen der Gedichte sind relativ weit gefächert, oft geht es um die Natur, aber auch Themen wie Einsamkeit, Liebe und Glück werden in relativ vielen Gedichten angesprochen.
