Francesco d'Assisi

by Hermann Hesse

Overview

Un uomo ricco ma inappagato, un uomo "in cerca". Della realizzazione di sé, del senso della vita, di una strada da condividere.
I piaceri, le gioie, il mondo non bastano. Saranno la rinuncia, il cammino, l'ascolto a condurlo verso la meta.
Come Siddharta nell'India antica, così nell'Italia medievale Francesco, il giullare di Dio: protagonista di questa biografia scritta da un giovane Hesse, quasi una fiaba piena di poesia, ispirazione, e dello spirito più puro del poverello di Assisi.

About the Author

Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) was a German–Swiss poet, novelist and painter known for his introspective books including Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, Demian and The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi) among others. Briefly studying at a seminary, theological themes are often woven into his writing. Profoundly affected by the mysticism of Eastern thought including Buddhism and Hinduism, Hesse's books and essays reveal a deep spiritual influence that has captured the imagination of generations of readers. In 1946, Hesse received the Nobel Prize in Literature celebrating his entire body of work which offered readers a profound exploration of the human psyche.
