Insightful reviews Stephanie: this is one of my favorite books. Lisa: Not the easiest book to get through. It's pretty dark and sad. But definitely some of the most beautiful writing I've read. This is probably one of my favorite quote of all time: "Fate was not kind, life was capricious and terrible, and there was no good reason in nature. But there is good and reason in us, in human beings, with whom fortune plays, and we can be stronger than nature and fate, if only for a few hours. And we can draw close to one another in times of need, understand and love one another, and live to comfort each other. And sometimes, when the black depths are silent, we can do even more. We can then be gods for moments, stretch out a commanding hand and create things which were not there before and which, when they are created, continue to live without us. Out of sounds, words and other frail and worthless things, we can construct playthings - songs and poems full of meaning, consolation, and goodness, more beautiful and enduring than the grim sport of fortune and destiny. We can keep the spirit of God in our hearts and, at times, when we are full of him, he can appear in our eyes and our words, and also talk to others who do not know or do not wish to know him. We cannot evade life's course, but we can school ourselves to be superior to fortune and also to look unflinchingly uopn the most painfull things."

Generalmente digo que es uno de mis autores favoritos, junto a Dostoievski. Esto viene desde l. a. adolescencia. Uno es consiente que esos autores, especialmente Hesse, llegan de una manera mucho más profunda cuando recién se esta entrando a esa etapa de dudas y pasiones. Muchas veces, cuando ya se conocen otros autores, y se ha madurado un poco más, esos gustos son vistos de una manera nostálgica, pertenecientes a una etapa contradictoria, ya superada. Debo decir que Hemann Hesse no es un autor para adolescentes, ni viejos, hombres o mujeres: es un autor para los angeles humanidad. Pese a que leí uno de sus libros menos populares, su maravillosa prosa, su descripción de l. a. psicología y acción de los personas, y sobre todo, su profunda reflexión sobre los angeles vida, son atemporales. Y no hay nada de que avergonzarse, es un autor para ser leído y releído toda una vida.Hay que tener mucho cuidado, este tipo de escritores, no vislumbran tanto el intelecto como Borges, Cortazar, Bolaño, Asimov, Dick, etc, etc. Sino que remueven lo más profundo de nuestras creencias y pasiones, como Sabato, Dostoievski, Camus, Huxley, Kafka, Tolstoi, etc. Es como acercarse a mirar al borde del abismo. Davidg: i've got had this moment hand paperback sitting on my cabinets for over 30 years. I enjoyed 'The Glass Bead Game' again whilst i used to be at college and somebody steered 'Gertrude' to me and that i picked it up for 50p and shelved it subsequent to my different Hesse books and there it has remained. Surviving numerous strikes and various culls to make room at the shelves, It eventually acquired taken down and installed my bag for a educate trip right down to London.I knew it was once going to be a love story, anything of that unique advice nonetheless lingers, yet hadn't realised that it used to be approximately an unrequited ardour and ideal. i believe that my speedy learn via this brief e-book overlooked a couple of points, however the tale resonates and the e-book will come again off the shelf at some point soon in order that it may be savoured again.There have been a few components that jarred, quite our composer hero, who by no means turns out to paintings at or dedicate many hours to his writing. while it comes, it simply comes. but i'm convinced that during his creativity, Hese might have labored at his craft and passed through drafts and rewrites. It simply looked as if it would supply a fake photograph of manufacturing a piece of art, a huge part of the book.However, there has been a lot to enjoy. For one of these slender book, characters are greater than mere sketches, with ambiguities and complexity, eg the bluff womanising singer who mask his vulnerability and self- doubt. Griselda: a delicately paced narrative giving perception into the narrator's interpretation of the folks round him. Brief, but, within the culture of the Bildungsroman, the publication permits us to watch the emotional trip and improvement of the younger narrator.
