Damian - Herman Hesse


I often wondered about aesthetic values and meanings but I never did anything with those thoughts. there were mere linger feelings that couldn't be suppressed.

In the diligence of my readings, I stumbled on "Damian" by "Herman Hesse".

the book is an autobiographical book. Presented through the eyes of a German average teenager. Emile.

He tells his dramatic life story and tells us about the only person who gave him access to a life less ordinary. A life full of aesthetic thoughts,predicaments. life รก la Art.

Damian's Existentialistic Views are wonderful. A true beauty!

Once you start reading it, like me, you will be thrown into this strange world of aestheticism and reality.
It's a book that can change your life and it certainly changed mine.

Herman Hesse won the nobelprize of literature in 1946 and without reluctance and pretentious hyping.
I can assure you that this book is something original. something out-of-this-world

If you read this, i'll bet you want to read more of him.

Sounds like a really good book. I'll add it to my list.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
