Description

Herman Hesse remained clear-sighted and consistent in his political views and his passionate espousal of pacifism and the bloody absurdity of war from the start of the First World War to the end of his life. He wrote the earliest essay in this book in September 1914, before he cemented his fame with the novels Steppenwolf and Siddhartha, and continued writing a stream of letters, essays and pamphlets throughout the war. In his native Germany his views earned him the labels 'traitor' and 'viper', but after World War II he was moved to reiterate his beliefs in another series of essays and letters.If the War Goes On . . . resonates as strongly today as it did when originally published and begs the question: have our politicians learnt nothing in the last seventy years?

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.
