Rebelling against a stern monastic education he worked as a locksmith and a bookseller before embarking on a 65-year writing career. Having travelled as far as India he settled in Switzerland in 1911 in opposition to German militarism. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1946 he died in 1963 aged eighty-five.Author 1 Hermann HesseBook Description Herman Hesses legendary allegorical novel "The Journey to the East" is purportedly the history of a journey undertaken by a secretive League. Written by one H.H. the groups storyteller and choirmaster an old and weak man who has never recovered from the failure of the journey and the disintegration of the League. As H.H. struggles to string together his fractured memory of the expedition he reveals the existence of a fantastical alluring and deeply intimate world in which a journey can cross not only the boundaries of time and space but even those of fact and fiction in which ones travelling companion might just as easily be Don Quixote as Paul Klee.
