In India, chi sa quanti tra i lettori di Hesse lo sanno, lo scrittore non mise quasi piede.Il viaggio dal settembre al dicembre del 1911 lo portò invece a conoscere un lembo di Ceylon (il santuario buddista di Kandy e il monte e la penisola di Malacca, Kuala Lumpur,Singapore e Sumatra. L'India era il paese in cui i nonni e i genitori avevano lavorato come missionari, ma era anche l'altrove esotico nell'immaginario collettivo (lo è ancora, in verità). Hesse desidera ardentemente confrontarsi con la cultura antitetica a quella europea, riconoscendo alla civiltà indiana il presupposto, l'origine, la culla della spiritualità.
Di quell'esperienza consegna alle pagine descrizioni e riflessioni scrupolose, di ogni sua tappa e ogni suo show more spostamento registra emozioni e notizie su flora, fauna,gente.
Questo viaggio in Oriente ha il valore di un ritorno alle profondità della propria anima pur se incompleto, come rivelerà lo stesso scrittore anni dopo. Ma sarà fondamentale rivelazione e sollecitazione per gli studi e le opere successive. show less

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.
