Specifications
From September 1914, Hermann Hesse, an ardent pacifist and internationalist, began writing his anti-war texts, with the highlight being the publication in 1919, the same year his iconic novel Demian was released, along with his essay The Return of Zarathustra.
In this work, the author, defying the voices of his critics who labeled him as a "traitor" and "viper," urges the German youth to turn away from the spurious gods of nationalism and militarism that led their country to the abyss.
The edition is complemented by two more anti-war texts by Hesse, which underscore his bravery and intellectual independence.
Can a book change the world? Yes and no. It can change the way we see ourselves and others, enlighten, infuriate, provoke, and console. It can inspire discussions, disagreements, even wars or revolutions, and it can certainly enrich life immeasurably.
The series features significant texts by great thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries whose ideas shook societies, disrupted the cultural norms of their time, and shaped the world as we know it today.
