Description
B cher z hlen bis heute zu den wichtigsten kulturellen Errungenschaften der Menschheit. Ihre Erfindung war mit der Einf hrung des Buchdrucks hnlich bedeutsam wie des Internets: Erstmals wurde eine massenweise Weitergabe von Informationen m glich. Bildung, Wissenschaft, Forschung, aber auch die Unterhaltung wurde auf neuartige, technisch wie inhaltlich revolution re Basis gestellt. B cher ver ndern die Gesellschaft bei heute. Die technischen M glichkeiten des Massen-Buchdrucks f hrten zu show more einem radikalen Zuwachs an Titeln im 18. Und 19 Jahrhundert. Dennoch waren die Rahmenbedingungen immer noch ganz andere als heute: Wer damals ein Buch schrieb, verfasste oftmals ein Lebenswerk. Dies spiegelt sich in der hohen Qualit t alter B cher wider. Leider altern B cher. Papier ist nicht f r die Ewigkeit gemacht. Daher haben wir es uns zur Aufgabe gemacht, das zu Buch gebrachte Wissen der Menschheit zu konservieren und alte B cher in m glichst hoher Qualit t zu niedrigen Preisen verf gbar zu machen. show lessTags

Hermann Hesse is one of the German writers who wrote a number of novellas, often between 20 and 50 pages long. Each of these novellas is a gem, and the popularity of these tales can be derived from the multiple editions of them, sometimes in collections and sometimes printed separately. They all require patient reading, rewarded with beautiful descriptions and true emotion.
The collection Diesseits was first published in 1907, and reissued in an extended edition in 1930. The novella Heumond (1905) was first published in the 1907 edition, while Schön ist die Jugend (1916) and Der Zyklon appeared in the 1930 edition.
Tornados are a rare phenomenon in continental Europe, and as such extra terrifying. This is one of the few stories of Hesse show more in which external circumstances are so obviously connected to the turmoil in the mind of the main character. show less

Author Information
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.
