# Hermann Hesse

> He wrote novels about seekers - young men peeling back the world's surfaces to find something true underneath - and for a generation that felt the same vertigo in the 1960s, decades after the books were published, his name became a password.

## Bio

Hermann Karl Hesse was born 2 July 1877, a German-Swiss poet and novelist whose interest in Eastern religious and philosophical traditions, woven with Jungian analysis, shaped everything he wrote. Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, The Glass Bead Game - each book followed someone hunting for authenticity, self-knowledge, a way to live that didn't feel like a lie. He was widely read in German-speaking countries while alive and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946, but the real surge came years after his death on 9 August 1962: the mid-1960s, when post-war readers in the United States and Europe found in his old pages exactly the questions they were asking.
