Sinossi
Nella poesia di Hermann Hesse si ripresentano, in sintesi, molti dei temi e degli interrogativi tìpici di tutta la sua opera: lo scarto tra materialità e aspirazioni interiori, l'ansia costante di rinnovamento spirituale, la concezione del dolore come mezzo per raggiungere ciò che lega intimamente e misteriosamente la sostanza individuale alle ragioni universali dell'essere. Come emerge da questa antologia che attinge all'intero arco temporale della sua attività creativa, per Hesse la poesia è momento etico prima ancora che estetico e letterario; nella composta, essenziale eleganza dello stile, nella sua raffinata, musicale nitidezza, si esprime la necessità d'una tormentosa ricerca, attraverso il linguaggio, di un più elevato grado di coscienza e conoscenza.

Hesse's Poems ! Gone digging, and cannot verify another English edition of this German master's poems. James Wright, circa 1970, at the height of the Hesse craze (Magister Ludi on the half-shell), brought these 31 poems into English, and the translations are like a combination of Edward Thomas and Ri Leggi tutto

"I have long since lost my innocence, yet a memory Touches my depth, the golden hours of morning, And gazes brilliantly upon me out of the eyes of flowers."

Hesse, stick to novels. 2.5/5 stars
If you’re like me, you may not have realized that this German author, known for short philosophical novels such as “Siddhartha,” “Steppenwolf,” and “Demian,” was also a poet. This bilingual edition consists of a selection of 31 poems picked and translated by the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, James Wr Leggi tutto
How can such an amazing novelist be also such a great poet? Hermann Hesse is beyond human. Some parts of poems I liked the most: -Here in this endless and gleaming wilderness I was removed farther than ever from the world of men -- And I never saw so close and so clearly The image in the mirror of my Leggi tutto
