Summary

Hugo Ball: Hesse's life and work

Hermann Hesse is a "commonplace" of world literature of the 20th century: he gained his reputation with the books The Steppe Wolf, Siddhartha, The Glass Bead Game... in which he perfectly combined the spirituality of the East and the wisdom of the West; fame was won by the Nobel Prize and other numerous awards during his lifetime, and after his death in 1962 he achieved unprecedented success, becoming a true guru of a new generation that would literally turn the world upside down.
The author of this biography of Hesse, Hugo Ball, is a respected avant-garde artist and poet, co-founder of Dadaism, a "performer" at the Cabaret Voltaire... Unlike Hesse, who paved new paths, building them largely on tradition, Hugo Ball advocated breaking with all traditions. For a man who wrote lyrics like gadji beri bimba (which, by the way, were used by Talking Heads in the song I Zimbra), it was hard to expect him to write about Hesse with great understanding and love. Although apparently diametrically different, the two artists "clicked", they were spiritual brothers - both naturalized Swiss, both born in Germany, contemporaries, both hypersensitive (Iberspans, Krleža would say), greatly humiliated and insulted (Dostoevsky would say), painfully disappointed in the spiritual climate of Europe that led to the First World War and,
in the end, both immensely talented - and precisely that is why Ball successfully detected and explained in detail the key elements from Hesse's life and works.
