En Demian, dirige su voz a los estudiantes. Se habla en esta obra de los sufrimientos en la escuela; de los extravíos y turbulencias del sexo; del saber de los mitos y misterios; la guerra era vislumbrada, sufrida, pagada con la muerte. En esta obra la amistad ya no es conflicto en Psicologia.

Dividida en tres relatos, la novela narra la historia del trotamundos Knulp que, Sin destino a mi hogar, vagabundea, incapaz de echar raíces, viviendo el amanecer del mundo con la candidez de un niño.Knulp es una oda a los sin patria, a los intrepidos, que sobrellevan la incertidumbre, y avanzan movidos por la fuerza del deseo.

Nella suggestiva e limpida melodia dei versi di Hermann Hesse, contrappunto ideale alla sua opera narrativa e saggistica, si ritrovano i temi a lui piu cari: la sofferenza, la conoscenza, la liberta, l'amore. E proprio all'amore, soggetto poetico elementare e inesauribile, e interamente dedicata la seconda parte di questo volume. Perche attraverso l'amore, vera fonte di crescita interiore, cio che Hesse ricerca e la consonanza con l'ordine cosmico, la comunione con la natura che costantemente si rinnova e si disperde in una complessita creativa che molto somiglia all'impulso dell'artista.

sur le thème unique des fiançailles, hermann hesse multiplie les angles d'approche, les attaques, les points de vue. il déploie toutes les facettes d'un talent encore juvénile pour rendre compte de cet événement si singulier qui, par la promesse, lie l'amour au temps et, par l'attente, le temps à l'amour. les onze nouvelles qui composent le présent recueil ont été écrites par hermann hesse avant l'âge de trente-cinq ans ; recouvrant une période de douze ans de la vie de l'auteur, elles permettent de suivre la maturation d'une vision du monde ainsi que l'émergence d'une écriture exemplaire. esprit tourmenté, déjà en proie aux déchirements d'un mariage malheureux, hermann hesse s'attarde sur ces fiançailles qui font du monde le témoin de l'amour, de l'argent le garant du sentiment - le héros de la nouvelle fiançailles s'appelle ohngelt : sans-argent -, du temps le tombeau de la passion. hesse se révèle un humoriste hors pair lorsqu'il observe ses semblables. mais souvent plus sombre, il considère que l'amour est immanquablement frappé du sceau du malheur : les contraintes de la société que condense l'épisode capital des fiançailles ne sont rien auprès des tortures que s'infligent ceux qui s'aiment. traduit de l'allemand par edmond beaujon
