He was the son and grandson of Protestant missionaries and was educated in religious schools until the age of thirteen, when he dropped out of school. At age eighteen he moved to Basel, Switzerland, to work as a bookseller and lived in Switzerland for most of his life. His early novels included \u003ci\u003ePeter Camenzind\u003c\/i\u003e (1904), \u003ci\u003e Beneath the Wheel\u003c\/i\u003e (1906), \u003ci\u003eGertrud\u003c\/i\u003e (1910), and \u003ci\u003eRosshalde\u003c\/i\u003e (1914). During this period Hesse married and had three sons. During World War I Hesse worked to supply German prisoners of war with reading materials and expressed his pacifist leanings in anti-war tracts and novels. Hesse's lifelong battles with depression drew him to study Freud during this period and, later, to undergo analysis with Jung. His first major literary success was the novel \u003ci\u003eDemian\u003c\/i\u003e (1919). When Hesse's first marriage ended, he moved to Montagnola, Switzerland, where he created his best-known works: \u003ci\u003eSiddhartha \u003c\/i\u003e(1922), \u003ci\u003eSteppenwolf \u003c\/i\u003e(1927), \u003ci\u003eNarcissus and Goldmund\u003c\/i\u003e (1930), \u003ci\u003eJourney to the East \u003c\/i\u003e(1932), and \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Bead Game\u003c\/i\u003e (1943). Hesse won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. He died in 1962 at the age of eighty-five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 6.86 x 4.22 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 1984\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53755541487949,"sku":"9780553275865","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/bnQyQm9tNmladkludmhRRUFQalE2Zz09.webp?v=1776719303","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/narcissus-and-goldmund-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
