Your Writing Needs Joy. (Here's How to Achieve It) (Hermann Hesse Wisdom)
"Essays in Life and Art" is a collection of writings by Hermann Hesse, originally published in German as "Betrachtungen" (Reflections). This collection gathers a series of essays where Hesse reflects on various aspects of life, art, literature, and the human condition.
***
Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) was a German-born Swiss poet, novelist, and painter, widely regarded as one of the most important German-language writers of the 20th century. He is best known for his novels that explore spiritual and existential themes, often drawing from his own experiences and interests in Eastern philosophy, Jungian psychology, and the quest for self-discovery.
Hermann Hesse was born on July 2, 1877, in Calw, Germany. He grew up in a strict Pietist family, which had a profound impact on his early upbringing and later themes in his writing.
Hesse began writing poetry and fiction at a young age. His early works were influenced by German Romanticism and Eastern Spirituality. Hesse explored themes of alienation and the search for identity.
"Steppenwolf" (1927): This novel is perhaps one of Hesse's most famous works, exploring the inner struggle of a man named Harry Haller who feels torn between his animalistic and spiritual selves. It delves into themes of existentialism, loneliness, and the search for meaning.
"Siddhartha" (1922): A philosophical novel set in ancient India, "Siddhartha" tells the story of a young man's spiritual journey to find enlightenment. It reflects Hesse's interest in Eastern philosophy, particularly Buddhism, and explores themes of self-discovery and personal growth.
Hesse's works often reflect his fascination with Eastern spirituality, particularly Buddhism and Taoism. He explores themes of meditation, mindfulness, and the quest for inner peace and enlightenment.
Many of Hesse's protagonists embark on journeys of self-discovery, seeking to reconcile their inner conflicts and find their true identities amidst societal pressures and personal desires.
Great masses of people these days live out their lives in a dull and loveless stupor. Sensitive persons find our inartistic manner of existence oppressive and painful, and they withdraw from sight. In art and poetry, after the brief heyday of realism, dissatisfaction has arisen everywhere, the clearest symptom of it being nostalgia for the Renaissance and Romanticism. "'What you lack is faith, ' cries the Church, and, "'What you lack is art, ' says Avenarius.
