Herman Hesse is a famous German writer and poet. He began to write with paints at the height of the First World War. Painting helped him survive in terrible times. For the future of the Nobel laureate, this was a new type of creativity that allowed him to move away from literature for a while. The book includes the picturesque watercolors of the author, created in the Swiss canton of Tessin (Ticino), as well as essays, poems and letters.
“I think, among all types of human activity, there are two most beautiful – music and painting,” wrote the eighty -year -old German Hesse one reader in Liverpool. “I remained an amateur in both, but with them overcame the most difficult tasks: the confrontation of life.”
