L'amore impossibile del violinista Kuhn per l'affascinante Gertrud è il tema di questo romanzo, imperniato sul contrasto fra l'umbratile personalità artistica di Kuhn e la vitalità istintiva e vincente del rivale, e strettamente legato alla narrativa tedesca di inizio secolo, in particolare a Tonio Kröger. Tuttavia, mentre nel romanzo di Thomas Mann la storia dell'amore impossibile fa parte dell'educazione sentimentale del protagonista, in Gertrud (1910), innamorato della ragazza e insieme amico del rivale, Kuhn porterà per tutta la vita i segni di questa esperienza, pur trovando nella musica la catarsi della sua passione d'amore, vissuta e idealizzata con dedizione assoluta e irripetibile.

Many works, including Siddhartha (1922) and Steppenwolf (1927), of German-born Swiss writer Hermann Hesse concern the struggle of the individual to find wholeness and meaning in life; he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946. Other best-known works of this poet, novelist, and painter include The Glass Bead Game , which, also known as Magister Ludi, explore a search of an individual for spirituality outside society. In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in the country, received enthusiastically Peter Camenzind , first great novel of Hesse. Throughout Germany, people named many schools. In 1964, people founded the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis, awarded biennially, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of work of Hesse to a foreign language. The city of Karlsruhe, Germany, also associates a Hermann Hesse prize.
