The figure of Francis of Assisi fascinated Hesse from his teenage years, when the future writer was also seeking genuine liberation, escaping from the evangelical seminary of Maulbronn.
The "Francis of Assisi", "The Game of Flowers" and "The Death of Brother Anton" form a triptych that vividly presents Hesse's view of the transformative personality of the Poor Man.
For Hesse, Francis is the "new man", the new Adam, who rediscovers the primordial essence of beings.
