This book collects Hesse's twenty fairy tales, covering his entire creative career and witnessing his life trajectory. Hesse's fairy tales are not fairy tales in the traditional sense, but they are deeply influenced by Eastern and Western fairy tale traditions. From "Two Brothers", which he created when he was ten years old, to his last piece, "Birds" written in 1933, they bear witness to Hesse's attempts to use this genre to record his inner world as an artist. Like many European writers of his generation, Hesse paid close attention to everything happening around him: the rapid development of science and technology, the rise of materialism, the outbreak of world wars, economic boom and recession... All these, as well as the traumas, questions and dreams he personally experienced, are perfectly reflected in the world of artistic fairy tales.
