About This Novel
After Hermann Hesse divorced his first wife at the age of 46, he moved to Switzerland and retired to the mountains. He savored the joy of life given by nature while reading in sunny days and rainy days, and wrote this classic of poetry and prose. From the prosperity in the "childhood garden" to the joy of the garden in the fishing village on Lake Constance, from the ideal country house in Bern to the small apartment on the shore of Lake Lugano, Hesse's tireless toil is always integrated with the unique natural scenery, each in his own way. If you understand the ups and downs of Hesse's life - suffering from illness since childhood, attempted suicide in his early years, divorced twice, suffered two world wars, was included in the list of undesirable writers by the Nazis for helping refugees, was impoverished in his later years, suffered from eye diseases and headaches - then you will read the author's understanding of life and deep reflection on human nature from this collection of essays, which are as timeless and peaceful as freshwater color paintings. This collection of Hesse's essays is thick in its beauty, and powerful in its tranquility, allowing people to gain depth of thinking through light reading.
