هيرمان هيسه

全书包含两个部分。《克林索尔的最后夏天》是黑塞创作于1919年的中篇小说。彼时一战刚刚结束，世界尚未从混乱中恢复，千万士兵、战俘和民众，从多年僵化统一的顺服中，回归既向往又恐惧的自由。有些年轻人在童年时被战争拖走，现在“回归”了，却必须面对一个完全陌生的现实世界。而对于 黑塞这样的“老人”，那些曾被高度认同的世界观已成了可笑荒唐的明日黄花。一切都变得可疑，令人不安惶恐。在这样一个夏天，一个告别的夏天，充满力量与光芒、诱惑与魅力，弥漫南方阳光与葡萄酒香气的日子，画家克林索尔化身李太白，与他的好友杜甫、路易、亚美尼亚占星师，一同漫游，饮酒，辩论。最终在夏末，用尽生命所有的燃料，完成了最终的画作。 第二部分《漫游》是黑塞创作的散文和诗歌集。 诺贝尔文学奖得主黑塞自传式作品，国内首度翻译集结”，继《悉达多》《园圃之乐》后，你不可错过的大师之作。 本书内容关于夏日、颜色、梦境，以及葡萄酒、诗歌和艺术；或许是黑塞最具想象力的作品，文字如调色盘般交织迷离。 在本书中，你不仅能见到黑塞本人，还有李太白、杜甫、亚美尼亚占星师。但无论你是懵懂少年，还是沉静老者，都能在本书中找到属于你的自画像。

Herman Hesse's classic novel has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers. In this story of a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege to seek spiritual fulfillment. Hesse synthesizes disparate philosophies—Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism—into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for true meaning.

On May 2, 1919, Hesse wrote to Romain Rolland: "I have had to bear a very heavy burden in my personal life in recent years. Now I am about to go to Ticino once again, to live for a while as a hermit in nature and in my work." In 1920, after settling in the Ticino mountain village of Montagnola, he published Wandering, a love letter to this magic-garden world that can be read as a meditation on his attempt to begin a new life. His pure prose, his heartfelt lyricism, and his love for the old earth, for its blessings that renew themselves, all sing in this serene book. The first German edition of Wandering included facsimiles of fourteen watercolor landscapes. Hesse's painting had blossomed in the southern countryside and he even toyed with the idea "that I might still succeed in escaping literature entirely and making a living at the more appealing trade of painter." Unfortunately, his original pictures for Wandering have disappeared; this edition reproduces in black-and-white the full-color reproductions of the 1920 edition.

Emil Sinclair is a young boy raised in a bourgeois home, amidst what is described as a Scheinwelt, a play on words that means "world of light" as well as "world of illusion". Emil's entire existence can be summarized as a struggle between two worlds: the show world of illusion (related to the Hindu concept of maya) and the real world, the world of spiritual truth. In the course of the novel, accompanied and prompted by his mysterious classmate 'Max Demian', he detaches from and revolts against the superficial ideals of the world of appearances and eventually awakens into a realization of self.
