Summary
Hermann Hesse: Journey to the East
Nobel winner, cult writer of the hippie generation, the most read European author in America, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century... these are just a few impressive facts about Hermann Hesse, the author of this literary gem, one of the most brilliant in his brilliant line. "Colorful Shop" joyfully singles out this sublime and almost unreal masterpiece about the search for wisdom and the "realm of the spirit", which Hesse himself included among 5-6 of his favorite texts.
"Journey to the East" is a wonderful story about the extraordinary expedition of the members of the mystical Alliance to the mythical lands of wisdom, the origin and source of man's spiritual wealth. Zarathustra, Plato, Mozart, Lao Tzu, Don Quixote, Buddha, Paul Klee, Pythagoras, Baudelaire... these are just some of the famous pilgrims and members of the Alliance with whom the author traveled or meets them on the mysterious journey through space and time described here. According to some sources, that mysterious association of believers, dreamers, thinkers, poets and fantasists, scattered across nations and centuries, which we could also call an alliance of truth seekers or seekers of God, supposedly still exists, but has always existed!
In any case, an exceptional booklet for all spiritual seekers, travelers inward or possible pretenders for membership in the Alliance, but also for all true literary connoisseurs.
