To the Indian Subcontinent

About This Novel
"To the Indian Subcontinent" written by Hermann Hesse tells the story of Hermann Hesse, who has admired Eastern culture all his life and finally came to Asia. The steaming mainland of Southeast Asia. The mixed life of the colony made him marvel again and again. Hesse was in awe of the vastness of the primeval rainforest. He was also shocked by the picture of coolies working in the forest; he not only praised the Chinese, Indonesians, and Malays in Southeast Asia for not contracting modern Western diseases, but also despised their poor and blind imitation of European colonists. The ancient philosophy drawn from the literature is mixed with the experiences during travel, giving these travel essays a unique look and re-outlining the Eastern world in Hesse's eyes.
