L′infanzia del mago non è tanto un frammento autobiografico di Hesse, quanto la sottile chiave di lettura che ci spiega la genesi profonda delle sue opere fondamentali, Siddharta come Il gioco delle perle di vetro. E la rievocazione di Hesse bambino che vuole diventare mago e anela ad essere invisibile, come il "piccolo uomo" che appare di tanto in tanto a dargli consigli e aiuto. Imparerà, alla fine, a diventare adulto, ma anche a "sostituire l′invisibilità della cappa magica con l′invisibilità del sapiente che, mentre conosce, mai è riconosciuto".

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.
