3 HERMANN HESSE Gertrude, Demian: Emil Sinclair's Youth & Siddartha

Description: For sale are three novels by Hermann Hesse. By the time of Hesse's death in 1962, his works were still relatively little-read in the United States, despite his status as a Nobel laureate. The situation changed in the mid-1960s, when Hesse's works suddenly became bestsellers in the United States. In particular, the quest-for-enlightenment theme of Siddhartha, Journey to the East, and Narcissus and Goldmund resonated with those espousing counter-cultural ideals. In just a few years, Hesse became the most widely read European author of the 20th century. Gertrude (1910) , Noonday N 378/Farrar, Straus & Giroux 1970 Trade Paperback. Styled as the memoir of a famous composer named Kuhn, Gertrud tells of his relationships to two troubled artists, the eponymous Gertrud Imthor, and the opera singer Heinrich Muoth. Kuhn is drawn to Gertrud upon their first encounter, but she marries Muoth. The two are hopelessly ill-matched, and their destructive relationship provides the basis for Kuhn's magnum opus. Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth (1919) , Harper Perennial Classics 1999 Trade Paperback. Introduction by Thomas Mann. Emil Sinclair is a young boy raised in a middle class home, his entire existence can be summarized as a struggle between two worlds: the show world of illusion and the real world, the world of spiritual truth.

Siddhartha (1922) , Bantam 1971. Not pictured. Novel deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha.
