What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘A great writer… complex, subtle, allusive.’ - The New York Times
‘The classic literal-metaphorical journey.’ - The Guardian
’[Hesses] simplicity belies galaxies of knowledge in motion–history, theology, psychology, philosophy. Rilke, T. S. Eliot, Gide, Thomas Mann rightly called Hesse a master.’ - Life
About The Author
Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) was born in Wurttemberg, Germany. He resented his pious and repressive upbringing, and was determined to be a writer or nothing else. His writing was greatly influenced by his travels to Asia and his friendship with psychoanalyst Carl Jung. In 1946 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Several of his novels are available or forthcoming from Pushkin Press Classics, including Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund and Demian.
