FROM THE PUBLISHER - Rarely have biography and art been more complexly interwoven than in the life and works of Hermann Hesse. An intensely introspective man, Hesse was obsessed from first to last-from PETER CAMENZIND to The GLASS BEAD GAME-with the spiritual crises of his life and the broader meanings they suggested for his generation. Inevitably, his readers become as fascinated with the man as with the works themselves. Yet Hesses autobiographical writings, which comprise some of his finest prose and stand in explicit counterpoint to the fiction, have not been previously available in English. The present volume includes twelve revealing pieces arranged so that Hesse narrates his own life in roughly chronological sequence. The first three, dealing primarily with the portrait of the artist as a young man, suggest the experiences that underlie DEMIAN, BENEATH THE WHEEL, and the other novels of youth. In the next group, Hesse describes his journey to India, from which SIDDHARTHA eventually emerged, as well as the trauma of the war years. The two long central pieces, A Guest at the Spa and Journey to Nuremberg, recapitulate the process of maturing that turned the mountain recluse of Montagnola into the ironic witness of the twenties, who could write with such humorous detachment about the spiritual torments of the Steppenwolf. The later writings, which move closer and closer to the reflective essay, render in a classically paradigmatic form an account of the highly ordered, virtually Castalian existence that assumed fictional shape in THE GLASS BEAD GAME. The reader of Hesses novels who turns to his autobiographical writings will be able to trace the tenuous line between fact and fiction that characterizes Hesses entire body of work. In these pages we encounter once again Emil Sinclair, Siddhartha, Harry Hailer, Goldmund, and Joseph Knecht-all in the persona of Hermann Hesse himself. HERMANN HESSE was born in Württemberg, Germany in 1877. His parents first met at a mission in India, and the repressive piety of his upbringing contributed towards his attempted suicide in 1892. He was determined to be a writer and nothing else. A major breakthrough came with the novel Peter Camenzind (1904), and in the same year he married his first wife, who bore him three sons. In 1912, the family moved to Switzerland, but his wifes schizophrenia, the death of his father, and the illness of his youngest son caused Hesse to suffer a breakdown. His subsequent interest in psychiatryhe got to know Carl Jung personallyand his lifelong fascination with Indian religions had a profound influence on his novels, which he called biographies of the soul (e.g. Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, The Glass Bead Game). He married twice more. In 1946 Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, though later he devoted much of his time to painting water-colours. He died in 1962 in Montagnola, Switzerland, where he is buried. N° de réf. du vendeur 005981
