This masterful synthesis of criticism and biography surveys all of Hermann Hesse's major works and many of his minor ones in relation to the intricate psychological design of his entire life history. Eugene Stelzig examines what it means to be an "autobiographical writer" by considering Hesse's fictions of the self as an exemplary instance of the relationship between life and art and between biography and autobiography. In a graceful and inviting style, he frees this major confessional writer from the confines of German culture and the status of "cult figure" of the 1960s, and situates him in the tradition of world literature and in a variety of literary, psychological, philosophical, and religious contexts. Three introductory chapters on autobiography and Hesse set the stage for a chronological study. Then follows a penetrating analysis of the balance between biographical fact and confessional fantasy in Hesse's long career, from the failed autobiography of his first literary success, Beneath the Wheel, through the protracted midlife crisis of the grotesque Steppenwolf period, to the visionary autobiography of his magisterial fictional finale, The Glass Bead Game. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Hermann Hesse's Global Impact

A timely collection of new essays arguing for the continuing relevance and impact of Hesse's works around the world. Hermann Hesse remains one of the great figures of world literature. He is the world's 35th most translated author, with more than 1,500 translations of his works currently listed on UNESCO's Index Translatorium. Our understanding of the reciprocal transcultural reception of literature has been radically transformed in the last two decades, starting with David Damrosch's What Is World Literature? (2003). Meanwhile, some forty years have passed since Martin Pfeifer's anthology Hermann Hesses weltweite Wirkung (Hermann Hesse's Worldwide Impact) was published, which means it is time to consider Hesse's global impact again, though not in terms of a country-by-country study. Rather, this book explores Hesse's continuing global relevance more broadly. Hesse is "global" in the sense that his themes touch on the non-material side of human existence in a way that readers in different cultural communities respond to. His prose and poetry offer an oasis of calm, authenticity, and spirituality - a mental terrain of profound and genuine meaning. The present collection of new essays argues that this "spiritual capital" may help readers of Hesse in uncertain times, beyond the doctrines of organized religions or ideologies, assisting them in inhabiting creatively both the world of literature and the visceral world of the early 21st century. Contributors: Flavia Arzeni, Thomas Cyron, Helga Esselborn-Krumbiegel, Carina Gröner, Karl-Josef Kuschel, Thomas Taro Lennerfors, Volker Michels, Christopher Newton, Shrikant Arun Pathak, John Pizer, Adam Roberts, Christiane Schönfeld, Laszlo V. Szabo, Girissha Ameya Tilak, Oscar von Seth, Jennifer Walker, Yoichi Yamamoto, Michal Zawadzki, and Chunhua Zhan.
Hermann Hesse once stated that his Japanese readers understood him best among all his readers worldwide – a little known fact among readers of Hesse in the West. This book examines Hesse’s reception in Japan and of Japan in the context of a transcultural reception process. It traces the different phases of Hesse’s reception in Japan and contextualises this reception in terms of the regional setting of East Asia and the cultural authority of imperial Japan. The role of transcultural mediators as figurative nodes in the world literature system is analysed, with a particular focus on the key role played by Hesse’s «Japanese» cousin, Wilhelm Gundert. Finally, Hesse’s epistolary exchange with his Japanese readers is unfolded to show how deep affinities arise, which result in the creation of a type of «spiritual» capital. This epistolary exchange, together with the translation of the Zen bible Pi Yen Lu by Wilhelm Gundert, inspired Hesse to write a series of three unique Zen-poems as a means of expressing a lifelong search for transcendence.

Erstmals liegt mit dem Hermann Hesse-Handbuch ein umfassend informierendes Nachschlagewerk zu diesem faszinierenden Autor vor. Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) war und ist ein literarisches Phänomen eigener Ordnung. Aus dem Geist der Spätromantik und des lyrischen Impressionismus hervorgegangen, hat sein Werk in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts vor allem mit Künstler-Erzählungen und coming of age-Romanen wie dem Peter Camenzind, dem Demian und später dem Steppenwolf die Wertschätzung einer begeisterten Leserschaft erreicht. Ein internationaler Höhenflug war seiner indischen Siddhartha-Figur postum durch die us-amerikanische Hippiebewegung der späten 1960er Jahre beschieden. Hesses langlebige Popularität, die ihn neben Brecht zu einer frühen Gallionsfigur des Suhrkamp-Programms werden ließ, traf im intellektuellen Feuilleton und in der akademischen Welt oftmals auf eher abschätzige Beurteilungen. Dieses bemerkenswerte Spannungsverhältnis bildet einen der Ansatzpunkte, mit dem die in diesem Handbuch versammelten Beiträge die Werk- und Wirkungsgeschichte des schwäbisch-schweizerischen Nobelpreisträger nachzeichnen Ein zweites, nicht minder ergiebiges Leitthema des Bandes bildet Hesses staunenswerte künstlerische Vielseitigkeit. Obwohl schon zu Lebzeiten ein Klassiker, ist das gesamte Spektrum des Dichters, Romanciers, Essayisten, Kritikers und Briefeschreibers, darüber hinaus noch des Malers und Aquarellisten kaum zu ermessen und kann hier dank facettenreicher Einzelstudien in seiner produktiven Vielfalt entdeckt werden.
