Fairy Tales Of Herman Hesse

Viac o knihe

Hermann Hesse, renowned for works like Siddhartha and Steppenwolf, calls upon people to reconstruct their lives and elevates Eastern mysticism in his writings. In this book of tales written for adults, he allows us to recall our long-forgotten childhood paradise and to pursue our dreams, which are the closest form of magic to us, stating, “The ability to share imagination and feelings is nothing but one of the forms of love.” These poetic tales chase after the emotions unique to children that adults have long lost. By blending Eastern mysticism with motifs from Western fairy tales, Hesse encourages readers to break free from established forms of civilization and to seek the true essence of humanity.
