Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) was a German author, and the winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize in literature. He is most famous for his novels Steppenwolf and Das Glasperlenspiel (The Glass Bead Game). Hesse's interests in existential, spiritual, and mystical themes and in Buddhist and Hindu philosophy may be seen in his works. Born on July 2, 1877 in Calw, Wurttemberg, Germany, Hesse emigrated to Switzerland in 1912 and in 1923 became a Swiss citizen. |
