Leggende e fiabe

by Hermann Hesse, Italo Alighiero Chiusano (Preface by), Francesco Saba Sardi (Translator)

Overview

Immersi in un clima mitico-simbolico soffuso di poesia, i temi della favolistica tradizionale (vita-morte, amoreodio) insieme a quelli della tentazione, della povertà, del miracolo, rivivono nelle leggende dei Padri del Deserto e degli eremiti della Tebaide, del Medioevo francescano o cortese e cavalleresco, dell'Italia rinascimentale e umanistica.

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.
