Hernan Hesse

Recently I was reading literature and one of the authors that most like me was Hermann Hesse.
Hermann Hesse was a german-swiss wither, he lived between 1877 and 1962, so he lived, in my assessment, in the term most gloomy of the humanity history, the term of the two worlds wars. The wither from that lived in it term, like Camus or Kafka, could relate the dismal from this historic moment.

One novel that I read from Hesse was "the Steppenwolf", where the protagonist, named Harry life in the constant internal dispute between the nice and passionate man and the alone and angry wolf. Harry, tired of the bourgeois society in witch he lived and witch he lost their passion of the art and the people, decide commit suicide. But just before meet to Armanda, that teach him the Jazz, the dance and the capacity of return to be passionate about life and love, and of accept the Steppenwolf form internal his.

Other novel that I read was “Siddhartha”, the history of the hindu prince that go over the world in pursuit of enlightenment and knowledge. He know the fast, the love and the lust, but in the final days he understand the importance of the harmony and serenity.
