Specification
Before you is a book without which the ENTIRE culture of European postmodernism—in literature, film, and theater—is unthinkable.

German Gesse
Hermann Hesse was a Swiss writer and artist of German origin.
He was born on 2 July 1877 in the town of Calw in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. As the son of Christian missionaries, he began studying theology in Maulbronn in 1891, but abandoned it a year later, becoming first a mechanic and then a bookseller. In 1912 Hesse emigrated to Switzerland and in 1923 became a Swiss citizen.
The writer achieved literary fame with the novel Peter Camenzind (1904). The success of this work allowed Hesse to devote himself entirely to literature.
