In Siddhartha, Herman Hesse conveys a very profound message for all those who seek meaning in their lives. Though set in India, the concerns of Siddhartha are universal, expressing Hesse's general interest in the conflict between mind, body, and spirit. It is a story of a Brahmin boy who follows his heart and ventures out into the world to experience life as a pious Brahmin, a Samana, a rich merchant, a lover, and ordinary ferryman to a father - each life bringing a new awakening, bringing him closer to the truth until he is finally one with Buddha.

In Knulp (1915) la descrizione della provincia sveva e del mondo artigianale diventa lo sfondo sul quale ai clichés della vita borghese si contrappone la figura del «viandante», capace - secondo Claudio Magris - di ridestare nei borghesi la «nostalgia delle lontananze». Questi stessi temi verranno approfonditi in Klein e Wagner e L'ultima estate di Klingsor, scritti dopo l'incontro di Hesse con la psicoanalisi.

Und doch knüpfen gerade ihre Gegensätzlichkeit und Bewunderung für den jeweils anderen das Band ihrer Freundschaft. In ihren Gesprächen zeigt sich Hesse als ein Maler mit Worten und ein tiefer Kenner der menschlichen Seele.

Somewhat autobiographical, this "coming of age" novel unfolds an introspective boy's formative years in pre-World War 1 Germany, from grade school through college. Hesse likens this confusing process to a giant bird struggling to break out of its egg (the protective shell of home, family, social norms), to be reborn as an individuated adult with his own goals, ideas and ideals.
