«Francesco d'Assisi» is the book of three stories by Hermann Hesse, published by Tascabili Economici Newton in paperback (91 pages, in Italian).
It brings together three stories by Hermann Hesse: «Francesco d'Assisi», «La morte di fratello Antonio» and «Il gioco dei fiori». The author approaches the figure of Saint Francis of Assisi and the mystery of religiosity: souls that strip away the superfluous seek an eternal law that gives meaning to the fleetingness of life and become luminous examples.
Translation from German by Francesca Ricci and Mirella Ulivieri; introduction by Giovanni Gigliozzi and bio-bibliographical note by Viviana Finzi Vita.
For readers of Hermann Hesse and Franciscan spirituality; the back cover presents it as a stimulus for young people.
Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-Swiss poet and novelist, and winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize in Literature. His interest in Eastern religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions, combined with his involvement with Jungian analysis, helped shape his literary work. His best-known novels include Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality.
