About this ebook
"I cannot read Hermann Hesse without feeling that I am drawn into the presence of a deeply serious mind, a mind that is searching for the meaning of life." - Carl Jung
New translation of the original German manuscript of Nobel Prize-winning Hermann Hesse's collection of stories "Detour Stories" originally printed in Berlin in 1912. Later, this collection of stories was re-printed as "a small world" or ""Stories of the Detour". This edition also contains an epilogue by the translator, a philosophical glossary of concepts used by Hesse and a chronology of his life and work. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947.
In Detour Stories, Hesse presents a collection of narratives:
Ladidel
The Homecoming
The World Improver
Emil Kolb
Father Matthias
About the author
A German-Swiss poet, novelist, and painter, Hesses literature deeply explores the individual's search for self-knowledge, authenticity, and spirituality. Influenced by Eastern philosophy, Nietzsche and Jungian psychology (he was a personal friend of Jung), his works like "Siddhartha" and "Steppenwolf" became emblematic of the counter-culture movements of the 20th century and literary manifestations of Continental Philosophy. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946, Hesse's highly individualistic and spiritual narratives continue to inspire personal growth and Socratic self-awareness
