Hermann Hesse

The total print run of his works, translated into nearly 60 languages, exceeds 100 million copies. Hermann Hesse's profound impact on readers can be explained by the fact that he always wrote from a deep-seated need and existential necessity. His books are 'biographies of the soul' – self-examinations and self-affirmations. His themes are the themes of human existence. This explains the fascination his books hold for readers, who find themselves reflected in them, grappling with their own questions.

The life and work of Hermann Hesse can be experienced in a very vivid and interesting way on site in the Hermann Hesse Museum the city Calw comprehend.
