In Siddhartha, Herman Hesse conveys a very profound message for all those who seek meaning in their lives. Though set in India, the concerns of Siddhartha are universal, expressing Hesse's general interest in the conflict between mind, body, and spirit. It is a story of a Brahmin boy who follows his heart and ventures out into the world to experience life as a pious Brahmin, a Samana, a rich merchant, a lover, and ordinary ferryman to a father - each life bringing a new awakening, bringing him closer to the truth until he is finally one with Buddha.

Here is the dramatic story of young, docile Emil Sinclair's descent - led by precocious schoolmate Max Demian - into a secret and dangerous world of petty crime and revolt against convention and eventual awakening to selfhood.

Narziß und Goldmund sind Freunde, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Der eine ein Denker, selbstbeherrscht, rational und prinzipientreu. Der andere ein kindlicher Träumer, Genießer und Sinnenmensch, voller Lebenslust und tiefem Gefühl. Der eine führt ein strenges Leben im Kloster, der andere begibt sich auf Wanderschaft in die Welt. Und doch knüpfen gerade ihre Gegensätzlichkeit und Bewunderung für den jeweils anderen das Band ihrer Freundschaft. In ihren Gesprächen zeigt sich Hesse als ein Maler mit Worten und ein tiefer Kenner der menschlichen Seele.

"Die Schule ist die einzige moderne Kulturfrage, die ich ernst nehme und die mich gelegentlich aufregt. An mir hat die Schule viel kaputt gemacht, und ich kenne wenig bedeutende Persönlichkeiten, denen es nicht ähnlich ging." So Hermann Hesse über sein viel diskutiertes Werk an einen seiner Brüder, der sich später - nicht zuletzt aufgrund in der Schulzeit gelegter Probleme - umbrachte.

Harry Haller loue un modeste meublé chez une logeuse pour quelques mois ; la cinquantaine, l'homme est bien mis, poli et discret mais attise les curiosités. Le personnage semble lointain, farouche, vivant en marge de ses contemporains qu'il observe avec ironie. Le manuscrit qu'il laissera suite à son départ nous permet de pénétrer son univers. Le roman le plus connu de Hermann Hesse, prix Nobel de littérature en 1946, il est parmi les incontournables chef-d'œuvres du XXème siècle.

Harry Haller, ein vereinsamter Mann von fünfzig Jahren, verbringt seine Tage im Dialog mit den großen Denkern im Arbeitszimmer, seine Nächte mit billigem Wein in zwielichtigen Kneipen. Aus seiner vereinfachten Selbstinterpretation als "Steppenwolf" - halb als Wolf, halb als Mensch fühlend - holt ihn erst die Kurtisane Hermine.

Dissatisfied with the ways of life he has experienced, Siddhartha, the handsome son of a Brahmin, leaves his family and his friend, Govinda, in search of a higher state of being. Having experienced the myriad forms of existence, from immense wealth and luxury to the pleasures of sensual and paternal love, Siddhartha finally settles down beside a river, where a humble ferryman teaches him his most valuable lesson yet.

In the shade of the house, in the sunshine of the riverbank near the boats, in the shade of the Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree is where Siddhartha grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young falcon, together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman. The sun tanned his light shoulders by the banks of the river when bathing, performing the sacred ablutions, the sacred offerings.

The passionate account of a young man's growing awareness of his own identity, of his involvement in the secret and dangerous world of petty crime, and how, influenced by a precocious schoolmate, he rebels against convention and discovers not only the great joy of independence, but his own new powers for good and evil.

Hermann Hesses Erzählung um die Freuden und Nöte des Erwachsenwerdens wohnt ein ganz besonderer Zauber inne. Diesen Ton trifft Ulrich Noethen mit seiner sensiblen Stimme und lässt der klaren, hinreißend schönen Sprache des Autors genug Freiraum, sich voll zu entfalten.

In Knulp (1915) la descrizione della provincia sveva e del mondo artigianale diventa lo sfondo sul quale ai clichés della vita borghese si contrappone la figura del «viandante», capace - secondo Claudio Magris - di ridestare nei borghesi la «nostalgia delle lontananze». Questi stessi temi verranno approfonditi in Klein e Wagner e L'ultima estate di Klingsor, scritti dopo l'incontro di Hesse con la psicoanalisi.

Il pittore Klingsor, a soli quarantadue anni, avverte che la sua intensa e luminosa esistenza non potrà durare a lungo, gravata da una vita troppo piena e appassionata. Questa sarà la sua ultima estate. Si immerge nel piacere e nell'agonia della pittura, trovando gioia e ossessione nella creazione artistica. Le sue giornate finali sono accompagnate dall'autenticità dell'amicizia, da un nuovo e delicato amore, e dalla bellezza di una natura che non teme l'abbandono. Con un animo irrequieto, Klingsor vive con veemenza, slancio e impazienza, cercando di trarre ogni istante vivido dalla vita.

In questo breve romanzo del 1920 l'ininterrotto processo di autoanalisi porterà i personaggi all'accettazione del proprio posto nell'armonia dell'universo, luogo unico dove tutto ciò che esiste è bene. In Klein e Wagner la descrizione della provincia sveva e del mondo artigianale diventa lo sfondo sul quale ai cliché della vita borghese si contrappone la figura del «viandante», capace - secondo Claudio Magris - di ridestare nei borghesi la «nostalgia delle lontananze».

Le leggende fiorite intorno ai Padri del Deserto e agli eremiti della Tebaide, il Medioevo francescano o quello cortese e cavalleresco, l'Italia rinascimentale e degli umanisti rivivono in queste pagine in un clima mitico-simbolico soffuso di poesia. Ai temi consueti della favolistica tradizionale (vita-morte, amore-odio) si aggiungono qui quelli della tentazione, della povertà, del miracolo, sempre trattati con garbo ispirato.
