Om en from brahmanersøn, der i sin søgen efter sandheden forkaster sine fædres tro. Hans vej går gennem askese, møde med Buddha, kærlighedsoplevelser og et verdsligt liv, før han falder til ro.

Harry Haller, hovedpersonen i fortællingen om Steppeulven, deler forbogstav med sin forfatter. Han er en ulv i menneskeklæder: udadtil anstændig og dannet, men bag den ensomme tænkers og litterats borgerlige ydre rører de dyriske drifter på sig. Hovedpersonen Harry Haller, Steppeulven, er dybt splittet mellem drift og ånd, men på sine nattevandringer og værtshusbesøg møder Harry Haller luderen Hermine, der tvinger ham fra selvmordstankerne og lærer ham at elske. Han helbredes i kærlighedens skole under kyndig vejledning af Hermine, halvt en prostitueret, halvt et arketypisk symbol. Romanen skildrer, hvordan han trækkes ind i et karnevalsagtigt virvar af dans og erotik, og hvordan et nyt liv hinsides godt og ondt kan rejse sig af det gamles ruiner. Steppeulven er blevet nyoversat af René Jean Jensen og udgives med forord af Ib Michael.

In the remote Kingdom of Castalia, the scholars of the Twenty Third century play the Glass Bead Game. The elaborately coded game is a fusion of all human knowledge - of maths, music, philosophy, science, and art. Intrigued as a school boy, Joseph Knecht becomes consumed with mastering the game as an adult.

A beautiful gift edition of Siddhartha, the famous inspirational story, set in India, of a young man's search for enlightenment.

Demian is a coming-of-age story that follows a young boy's maturation as he grapples with good and evil, lightness and darkness, and forges alternatives to the ever-present corruption and suffering that he sees all around him. Crucial to this development are his relationships with a series of older mentors, of who the titular Demian is the most charismatic, otherworldly and ultimately influential. Many have noted the influence of Jungian psychology upon this novel and it is fascinating to see Herman Hesse's interests in the self, existence and free will play out through through the lens of early twentieth-century Europe; Christian imagery and themes are ever-present, as is the shadow of the First World War.

A new translation by David Horrocks.At first sight Harry Haller seems like a respectable, educated man. In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters - accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione - the misanthropic Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This haunting portrayal of a man who feels he is half-human and half-wolf became a counterculture classic for a disaffected generation. Yet it is also a story of redemption, and an intricately-structured modernist masterpiece. This is the first new translation of Steppenwolf for over eighty years, returning to the fresh, authentic language of Hesse's original.

What does it mean to live a life of completeness? And how far must one go to understand the pain of others? Is change truly possible? This is the story that proves that it is. In what could be described as equal parts self-help book and a novelistic guide to spiritual awakening, Siddhartha has been hailed as prolific and unlike any other.Growing up, Siddhartha never experienced true pain. He was sheltered, as many are, turning a blind eye when the hardships of daily life made itself visible to the peasantry around him. Awakening from a hazy reverie that has shielded Siddhartha from the inevitable, he vows to make a change. With the hope of finding a deeper and resounding life's purpose, Siddhartha, a young man living in the ancient Indian kingdom of Kapilavastu, embarks on a journey of self-discovery and actualization. Accompanied by his best friend Govinda, the pair abandon the comfort of their old life by trading their material possessions for what they hope will be eternal enlightenment. Ridding themselves completely of the comforts of their previous life, the duo vow to a life of attempted purity. In a world where suffering is inevitable, Siddhartha hopes that by experiencing the pain so many face, only then will he find the true meaning of life. Siddhartha, written by German author Hermann Hessein 1951, is a tale of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. The novel as a whole explores the totality of the human experience, of what it means to abandon the parameters of comfort and routine in search for a higher calling.

Vowing at an early age to be a poet or nothing at all, Hermann Hesse rebelled against formal education, focusing on a rigorous program of independent study that included literature, philosophy, art, and history. One result of these efforts was a series of novels that became counterculture bibles that remain widely influential today. Another was a body of evocative spiritual poetry. Published for the first time in English, these vivid, probing short works reflect deeply on the challenges of life and provide a spiritual solace that transcends specific denominational hymns, prayers, and rituals. The Seasons of the Soul offers valuable guidance in poetic form for those longing for a more meaningful life, seeking a sense of homecoming in nature, in each stage of life, in a renewed relationship with the divine. Extensive quotations from his prose introduce each theme addressed in the book: love, imagination, nature, the divine, and the passage of time. A foreword by Andrew Harvey reintroduces us to a figure about whom some may have believed everything had already been said. Thoughtful commentary throughout from translator Ludwig Max Fischer helps readers understand the poems within the context of Hesse s life.

Siddhartha er en buddhistisk inspireret dannelsesroman skrevet i en enkel lyrisk stil. Den foregår i Indien på Buddhas tid og fortæller om den smukke, velbegavede brahmanersøn Siddhartha, der forlader sit barndomshjem i søgen efter en højere mening og et harmonisk selv. Hans søgen går fra et flerårigt liv sammen med de asketiske samanaer til et møde med Buddha og videre til et verdsligt liv med elskov og materielle goder, som han siden forlader i lede. Hans senere år tilbringer han som fattig færgemand langt fra verdens virak, men nu i harmoni med sig selv og med en erkendelse af, at harmoni og mening ikke kan opnås gennem teoretiske studier og lære, men kun gennem levet liv og egne erfaringer. Siddharta blev i 1960'erne sammen med Kerouacs On the Road en kultroman for flowerpower-hippierne og var fast inventar til festivaller og på rygsækrejser."I Hesses Siddhartha-karakter møder Buddhaen en moderne europæisk individualist med hans mistro til dogmer og institutioner." – Volker Zotz"At skabe en Buddha, som overgår den alment anerkendte Buddha, er i sandhed en uhørt bedrift af en tysker. Siddhartha er for mig en mere virksom medicin end Det Nye Testamente." – Henry Miller

In the novel, "Siddhartha," a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of his life -- the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and, finally, wisdom.

Hermann Hesse's "Steppenwolf" is a thrilling trip into the human soul. Readers are immersed into a world of psychological distress and emotional suffering via the protagonist, Harry Haller. Harry, a sophisticated and contemplative character, struggles with his dual identity as a cultured intellectual and a wild, untamed 'Steppenwolf.' As he navigates his conflicts, he meets Hermine, a mysterious young woman who takes him on a journey of self-discovery and tender pleasures. However, as Harry dives deeper into this new world, he must confront the worst aspects of his soul."Steppenwolf" has been recognized as a literary classic, exploring themes of identity, alienation, and the search for meaning in an indifferent world. With its beautiful style and profound insights, Hesse's work is a timeless investigation of the human condition, allowing readers to reflect on the intricacies of existence and the pursuit of honest self-expression.

Classic novel that has inspired generations of seekers. Blending Eastern mysticism and psychoanalysis, Hesse presents a strikingly original view of man and culture and the arduous process of self-discovery, reconciliation, harmony, and peace.

One of the most powerful books on Buddhism ever written. The totality of conscious events of a human life, is shown as the best way to approach understanding of reality and attain enlightenment - Hesse's crafting of Siddhartha's journey shows that understanding is attained not through intellectual methods, nor through immersing oneself in the carnal pleasures of the world and the accompanying pain of samsara. It is the completeness of these experiences that allow Siddhartha to attain understanding. Thus, the individual events are meaningless when considered by themselves-Siddhartha's stay with the Samanas and his immersion in the worlds of love and business do not lead to nirvana, yet they cannot be considered distractions, for every action and event gives Siddhartha experience, which leads to final enlightenment.
