Siddhartha

Quel est le sujet du livre "Siddhartha"

Siddhartha, die Legende von der Selbstbefreiung eines jungen Menschen aus familiärer und gesellschaftlicher Fremdbestimmung zu einem selbständigen Leben, zeigt, dass Erkenntnis nicht durch Lehren zu vermitteln ist, sondern nur durch eigene Erfahrung erworben werden kann.

Many works, including
Siddhartha
(1922) and
Steppenwolf
(1927), of German-born Swiss writer Hermann Hesse concern the struggle of the individual to find wholeness and meaning in life; he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946.

Other best-known works of this poet, novelist, and painter include
The Glass Bead Game
, which, also known as Magister Ludi, explore a search of an individual for spirituality outside society.

In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in the country, received enthusiastically
Peter Camenzind
, first great novel of Hesse.

Throughout Germany, people named many schools. In 1964, people founded the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis, awarded biennially, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of work of Hesse to a foreign language. The city of Karlsruhe, Germany, also associates a Hermann Hesse prize.
