Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse was a German-Swiss poet, novelist, and painter. In 1946, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. His best known works include Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, and The Glass Bead Game (also known as Magister Ludi) which explore an individual's search for spirituality outside society.In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Hesse's first great novel, "Peter Camenzind", was received enthusiastically by young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in the country. Throughout Germany, many schools are named after him. In 1964, the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis was founded, which is awarded every two years, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of Hesse's work to a foreign language. There is also a Hermann Hesse prize associated with the city of Karlsruhe,Germany.
years of life: 2 July 1877 9 August 1962

Quotes

nevena3005has quoted2 years ago
But no doubt I should immediately get the worst of it and be beaten in an argument with such a psychologist, for psychologists are, of course, people who always win. As far as I am concerned, they may be right. Then everything else that I have considered good and fine, and for which I have made sacrifices, has only been my egoistic desires.
Jovani González Hernándezhas quoted2 years ago
No, some­thing else from within him had died, some­thing which already for a long time had yearned to die.
Jovani González Hernándezhas quoted2 years ago
Already, he could no longer tell the many voices apart, not the happy ones from the weep­ing ones, not the ones of chil­dren from those of men, they all be­longed to­gether, the lam­ent­a­tion of yearn­ing and the laughter of the know­ledge­able one, the scream of rage and the moan­ing of the dy­ing ones, everything was one, everything was in­ter­twined and con­nec­ted, en­tangled a thou­sand times.
