Hermann Hesse: Der lange Weg zu sich selbst

Eugen Drewermann has repeatedly commented on the work of Hermann Hesse (1877–1962). This book brings together his engagement with the German Nobel Prize laureate. In 2019, the author was awarded the prize of the International Hermann Hesse Society, an honor for his exploration of Hermann Hesse, particularly in fostering and promoting intercultural dialogue. The volume includes the essays "The Journey to the East - the Long Path to Oneself," "Defending the Individual Against the Normed," and "Thoughts on Narcissus and Goldmund," as well as the laudation by Volker Michels for the award recipient and the acceptance speech by Eugen Drewermann.
