Description
“In the beginning there was the myth. As once in the souls of Indians, Greeks, and ancient Germans—so now in every child’s soul the Great God creates images and strives to find expression for them…” These words begin Hermann Hesse’s first novel, published in 1904, and it immediately made him famous.
The main character of the book, Peter Camenzind, is born in a Swiss village. He loves observing nature, wandering in the mountains, and watching the clouds. But he wants to become an educated person, so he moves to a city, earning a living as a journalist and writer. Yet does his inclusion in the chosen “high-society” circles truly make him happy? And how many roads must he travel to understand where his true happiness lies?
