Inhaltsangabe

This elegant book reflects Mr. Hesse’s thoughts on a spiritual path for self-knowledge through a collection of his essays, poems, and passages on trees—trees in general and on individual ones in specific places—accompanied by twelve of his hand-painted watercolor illustrations. Together his writings mirror the seasons, landscapes, and environmental conditions as he experienced them, and help remind us that trees’ annual rings are representations of our own struggle, illness, happiness, and purpose. Heartfelt and lovely, Trees offers a homecoming, or in the author’s comforting words: “They struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfill themselves according to their own laws….Whoever has learned to listen to trees no longer wants to be one. He wants to be nothing except who he is. That is home."

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Hermann Hesse was born in 1877 in Calw, Germany. He grew to become a celebrated author and the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946. As the son of missionaries, he developed a fascination with self-discovery and spiritual explorations, an interest also likely due in part to his lifelong struggle with depression, which led him to study Sigmund Freud and, later, to undergo psychoanalysis with Carl Jung. In 1912 he moved to Switzerland, where he wrote his best-known books, including the classic Siddhartha; composed poetry; and painted landscapes. He passed away in 1962 in Montagnola, Switzerland. Hesse is one of the most widely translated authors of the twentieth century; his work continues to have influence worldwide.

Damion Searls is a prize-winning translator of fifty books from German, French, Norwegian, and Dutch. Liveright published his translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet in 2020.

VOLKER MICHELS edited the first complete edition of Hermann. Hesse's writings, consisting of approximately fifteen thousand pages in twenty volumes. He is the world's foremost authority on Hesse's work and also manages the Nobel laureate's literary and artistic estate.
