Reading is Quiet Self-awakening (guomai Classic)
About This Novel
This book is a collection of reading essays by German writer Hesse. Hesse wrote and loved books, and he knew the charm of books best. He wrote more than 3,000 book reviews in his life, thinking about the purpose and process of reading, the relationship between people and reading, and also shared his favorite readings. He believes that reading must take the path of love, not the path of obligation. The purpose of reading should not be to forget ourselves and our daily lives, but to regain a more confident and mature grasp of our own lives. Hesse emphasized the inner unity of the book and the self. His literary criticism was not an objective analysis, but a "random impression" extracted from the literature after internalization. In this book, he talks about "reading" not from the perspective of a scholar but from the perspective of a reader. Here we can see through how Hesse transformed the world of books into his own world, thereby establishing a bibliography that suits his own temperament.
