The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth by Hermann Hesse I wanted only to try to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult? DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own anything in here. This story is made by Hermann Hesse and he published it in the year 1919. Note: Sorry if some words do not have space. (ex. wehave= we have or Ihave= I have) This is because I did not directly type all these. I just copy pasted it from a PDF I have :)
