Հետաքրքիր էր, բայց երևի ճիշտ ժամանակին չկարդացի թե ինչ, էդքան էլ դուրս չեկավ, իհարկե թեման լավն էր, ընդհանրապես Հեսսեին շատ եմ սիրում, բայց էս մի գործը էդքան էլ իմը չէր,, կամ էլ թարգմանությունից էր, չգիտեմ ((

Mostly about journeying, recognition, and understanding.

Hesse's short tale of a man's search for meaning, which is to be found only in himself.

That's an extraordinary book, disconcerting even. It is charging with spirituality at the frontiers of reality. But unfortunately, it is also a somewhat ancient text because of its simple past, which gives it a pompous and outdated look.
It was not a blow to the heart far from there, but I appreciated the poetry in this work.
