Hesse's novel of two medieval men, one quietly content with his religion and monastic life, the other in fervent search of more worldly salvation. This conflict between flesh and spirit, between emotional and contemplative man, was a life study for Hesse. It is a theme that transcends all time. The Hesse Phenomenon “has turned into a vogue, the vogue into a torrent . . . He has appealed both to . . . an underground and to an establishment . . . and to the disenchanted young sharing his contempt for our industrial civilization.”—The New York Times Book Review
About the Author
Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) was a German Swiss writer, poet and painter. One of the towering literary figures who helped shape the 20th century, Hesse wrote many great novels including Siddhartha, an allegorical tale on Buddha. A widely travelled man, he also had a deep knowledge on Christianity, Buddhism, philosophy and theosophy and these influences played an important role to give him a unique style which still remains unparalleled. Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946.
