About Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse was born in Württemberg Germany in 1877. His resentment towards his pious and repressive upbringing caused great difficulties in his studies but ultimately lead to his determination to be a writer or nothing else. Hesse and his writing were greatly influenced by his travels to Asia and through his personal acquaintance with psychoanalyst Carl Jung. In 1946 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for The Glass Bead Game the last of Hesses novels to explore an individuals search for authenticity and self-knowledge. The author died in 1962 in Montagnola Switzerland.
