Hermannhesse Stories

Demian is a bildungrosman novel by german author Hermann Hesse which follows a self-seeking journey of a young boy Emil Sinclair. What struck me the most while reading the novel are how the concept of good and evil is perceived and how religion illustrates evil based on the scriptures and the teachings of their own religion which sadly sometimes depicts the most normal things of life as evil deeds. Every person within himself possesses both good and evil and it is our choice to decide which drives we should pursue. The following contains only a summary for those who don't have the time to read the whole book. Also i wrote it because it left a long-lasting impression on me and i enjoyed it way too much not to discuss it. I highly recommend it to those who are skeptic of their religion. Enjoy. - Homaira Ansheri

[Age 20] On an ordinary Thursday, this piece captures a few of the many thoughts that circulate through my brain on a regular basis. As I sit and reflect in the student union building, observations of my surroundings intersect with complex thoughts and philosophical viewpoints. This piece attempts to dissect the systemic problems that the world faces, and the problems that we face as humans. The illusion of control and power that consumes our beings, and is similar to that of livestock. The eternal cycle of pain and joy that is characterized by a wheel that cages us, shackled by our own primal nature. A reflection of mental health. And the explanation and appreciation of being a "sculptor", with the ability to materialize my existence into art, freezing snapshots of them in time. I hope you enjoy the sculptures I create <3

The Glass Bead Game (German: Das Glasperlenspiel) is the last full-length novel of the German author Hermann Hesse. It was begun in 1931 and published in Switzerland in 1943 after being rejected for publication in Germany due to Hesse's anti-Fascist views. A few years later, in 1946, Hesse went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In honoring him in its Award Ceremony Speech, the Swedish Academy said that the novel "occupies a special position" in Hesse's work. The Glass Bead Game takes place at an unspecified date centuries into the future. Hesse suggested that he imagined the book's narrator writing around the start of the 25th century.[4] The setting is a fictional province of central Europe called Castalia, which was reserved by political decision for the life of the mind; technology and economic life are kept to a strict minimum. Castalia is home to an austere order of intellectuals with a twofold mission: to run boarding schools for boys, and to cultivate and play the Glass Bead Game, whose exact nature remains elusive and whose devotees occupy a special school within Castalia known as Waldzell. The rules of the game are only alluded to-they are so sophisticated that they are not easy to imagine. Playing the game well requires years of hard study of music, mathematics, and cultural history. The game is essentially an abstract synthesis of all arts and sciences. It proceeds by players making deep connections between seemingly unrelated topics. Cover by: @theygotgone

Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated the first part of it to Romain Rolland and the second to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama". Cover by: @Sapphire_2721

When I started reading this book, I was blank what it was going to offer me. Probably, that was the best thing happened for me. I read it one go. This book is not about enlightenment but the incidents a person faces to attain enlightenment.

Demian-Hermann Hesse

Steppenwolf (originally Der Steppenwolf) is the tenth novel by German-Swiss author Hermann Hesse. Originally published in Germany in 1927, it was first translated into English in 1929. Combining autobiographical and psychoanalytic elements, the novel was named after the German name for the steppe wolf. The story in large part reflects a profound crisis in Hesse's spiritual world during the 1920s while memorably portraying the protagonist's split between his humanity and his wolf-like aggression and homelessness. Steppenwolf was wildly popular and has been a perpetual success across the decades, but Hesse later asserted that the book was largely misunderstood. Cover by: @theygotgone
