Journey to the East

About This Novel
"Voyage to the East" written by Hermann Hesse tells the story that Hermann Hesse had a temple of Eastern culture in his heart. It not only displays his unique insights into oriental literature, painting, and religion, mainly represented by China and India, but also engraved with the oriental scenes he painted with satirical stories, fairy tales, and fables. But whether he is trying to clarify the intricate relationship between Buddhism, Brahmanism and Hinduism, or telling the story of a king with an "Indian life trajectory" in a very folklore-like way, he without exception expresses the theme that runs through his life of creation: individuals strive to achieve the harmonious unity of divided selves in the process of actively seeking their true self.
