 Hermann Hesse - Biography and Works
Hermann Hesse was born into a family of Pietist missionaries and religious publishers in the Black Forest town of Calw, in the German state of Wüttenberg on July 2, 1877.
These individuals, which Herman Hesse was one of them, cannot help to see deeper and further when they look, so they usually are outcasts as far as society is concerned, and they must hence suffer more, so as was written by Hesse the steppen wolf was as outcast as knulp and finally yoseph Kencht.

 Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. Search, Read, Study, Discuss.
for hesse, rejecting the idea of conventional time in favor of "all is now" seems to be the key to getting past teachings and recognizing the oneness that always is, always has been, always will be.
I have read a number of works by Hesse through the years and I must say some seem to build on a type of story telling revolution that should have continued after the authors death.
Hesse wrote other works which are very akin to this type of prose, namely 'Narcisuss und Goldmund' and the three final tales of 'The Glass Bead Game'.

As Hesse has told the story, the apparent resolution of opposites that occurs at the end seems to embody a teaching, though perhaps not one that can be easily verbalized apart from the telling of the incidents of the story itself.

 A Symposium on Hermann Hesse
Hesse’s grandfather was a missionary in India for thirty years, and Hesse wrote that he was greatly influenced from a young age by his grandfather’s stories.
While Hesse appears to convey Indian concepts, he uses themes and motifs more common to western philosophical thinking, such as the individual’s existential search for meaning, the youth rebelling against institutions and teachers, freedom as a paradigm for boundless potential, and perhaps most importantly, the image of the self-made person.
Hesse is not concerned with interpreting Asian religions to a Western audience.

Hesse's books teach u to fight with circumstances and obstacle.
I've read almost all his books and my favourite is 'Siddharta', but I must say most of his writings are not very easy, maybe because he describes human souls and feelings.

There is no Hermann Hesse museum in Berne, but a foundation at the Archives of the national library in Berne.
The library possesses a collection of manuscripts of Hesse and other works from him, but not very big.
I would recommend to stroll under Berne's arcades in the evening and visit the Kornhauskeller (bar and restaurant), and old corn cellar transformed into one of the most popular bar and restaurant of the capital (all ages, very pleasant atmosphere).
