«Leyendas medievales» is a collection of medieval legends by Hermann Hesse, published by Bruguera in the Libro Amigo collection in paperback (223 pages, in Spanish).
This compilation recovers legends from the German Middle Ages, a tradition Hesse worked on for years before turning to his own narratives on ancient themes. Mythology, esotericism and occultism run through the stories, which bring the reader closer to characters and settings typical of the Middle Ages.
It belongs to the Libro Amigo collection (no. 659). It includes translations from Latin by Hermann Hesse and J. G. Th. Graesse, with narratives by Leo Greiner. The German original was published as «Geschichten aus dem Mittelalter» in 1925.
A work for readers interested in the Middle Ages, Germanic mythology and the narrative tradition collected by Hesse.
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.
