Moving and profound. Hesse is a writer of suggestion, of nuance, of spiritual intimation.” The Christian Science Monitor
Peter Camenzind, published in 1904, was the first novel by Hermann Hesse. It contains a number of themes that were to preoccupy the author in many of his later works, most notably the individual's search for a unique spiritual and physical identity amidst the backdrops of nature and modern civilization, and the role of art in the formation of personal identity.
