Bu e-kitap hakkında
A trio of tales from the Nobel Prize-winning author, exploring the complexities of innocence, guilt, and the search for life's meaning.
This is the first English-language edition of Klingsor's Last Summer, originally published in 1920 between Hermann Hesse's celebrated novels Demian and Siddhartha. The book comprises three parts: A Child's Heart, a story delving into a boy's loss of innocence and the painful guilt that follows; and two of Hesse's finest novellas, Klein and Wagner and Klingsor's Last Summer.
Set in a southern landscape reflecting Hesse's life in the summer of 1919, both novellas feature heroes of Hesse's age, each confronting a spiritual crisis that leads to a profound vision of unity where life's polarities are resolved. In Klein and Wagner, Hesse mercilessly exposes his own struggles through a story of escape and letting go, while Klingsor's Last Summer paints a more direct self-portrait of the author as an expressionist artist.
Together, these tales offer a glimpse into a transformative period of Hesse's life, and a compelling exploration of the human condition.

Hermann Hesse was born in Germany in 1877 and later became a citizen of Switzerland. As a Western man profoundly affected by the mysticism of Eastern thought, he wrote many novels, stories, and essays that bear a vital spiritual force that has captured the imagination and loyalty of many generations of readers. His works include Beneath the Wheel, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The Glass Bead Game. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946. Hermann Hesse died in 1962.
