Description

Ces propos r dig s au gr des circonstances dans un style un peu l ger, souvent teint d'ironie, poss dent une signification commune: ils combattent cette religion la mode qui, en Europe comme en Am rique, glorifie l'homme moderne souverain, auteur de tant de r ussites...H. H. crits entre 1899 et 1959, les textes r unis ici, in dits jusqu'alors en fran ais pour la plupart, parlent de musique, de peinture, de livres, de villes, de paysages, de rencontres avec des hommes. travers eux, Hesse d show more finit sa position face au monde contemporain et propose un nouveau rapport l'existence, qu'il nomme l'art de l'oisivet . Pr nant l'humour, le scepticisme, l'esprit critique, bref, la libert de l'individu, il touche ici l'essentiel, ce qui explique pourquoi ces textes sont aujourd'hui encore si actuels. show less

Das thematische Spektrum der hier chronologisch nach ihren Entstehungsdaten oder dem Zeitpunkt ihrer erstmaligen Publikation angeordneten Texte reicht von der Schilderung der Rüge Hesses während der Pionierzeit der Luftfahrt im Flugzeug oder im Luftschiff des Grafen Zeppelin über die prophetische Karikatur der zur stereotypen Öde perfektionierten Ferienparadiese des kommerziellen Tourismus bis hin zur Parodie der naiven Fortschrittshörigkeit einer Leistungsgesellschaft.

Hermann Hesse (July 2, 1877 -- August 9, 1962) was a German poet, novelist, essayist and painter. His best-known works included Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge and spirituality. In 1946, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Hess publicly show more announced his views on the savagery of World War I, and was considered a traitor. He moved to Switzerland where he eventually became a naturalized citizen. He warned of the advent of World War II, predicting that cultureless efficiency would destroy the modern world. His theme was usually the conflict between the elements of a person's dual nature and the problem of spiritual loneliness. His first novel, Peter Camenzind, was published in 1904. His masterpiece, Death and the Lover (1930), contrasts a scholarly abbot and his beloved pupil, who leaves the monastery for the adventurous world. Steppenwolf (1927), a European bestseller, was published when defeated Germany had begun to plan for another war. It is the story of Haller, who recognizes in himself the blend of the human and wolfish traits of the completely sterile scholarly project. During the 1960s Hesse became a favorite writer of the counter culture, especially in the United States, though his critical reputation has never equaled his popularity. Hermann Hesse died in 1962.
