"Journey to the East" is a turning point in Hesse's writing attitude, from the perfect individualism that emphasizes the self to the lofty spirit of service dedicated to the group. Describe the mental journey of the pursuer of life. We no longer have a protagonist striving towards a vague ideal, but only a central idea trying to express and realize the ideal. Through the fascinating techniques of the popular "Covenant novels" in the eighteenth century, Hesse's own protagonist H. H.'S symbolic journey for the Covenant - a "Kafkaesque" experience through time and space, finally effectively defines the eternal spiritual realm he pursues - the "Third Kingdom". The book that begins as a symbolic autobiography ends with the sanctification of art. Hesse has reached the ideal state of beauty here.
