2011 Reprint of 1957 English Translation. Full facsimile of the
original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
"Journey to the East" is written from the point of view of a man
who becomes a member of "The League," a timeless religious sect
whose members include famous fictional and real characters, such as
Plato, Mozart, Pythagoras, Paul Klee, Don Quixote, Tristram Shandy,
Baudelaire, and the ferryman Vasudeva, a character from one of
Hesse's earlier works, Siddhartha. A branch of the group goes on a
pilgrimage to "the East" in search of the "ultimate Truth." The
conclusion of the short novel is a stroke of Hesse's typical
Eastern mysticism at its finest. Hermann Hesse was born in Calw in
the Black Forest on July 2, 1877, and from an early age was
obsessed with the mystery of existence and humanity's place in the
Universe. The Journey to the East is Hesse's tale of inner
pilgrimage, an allegory on human desire for enlightenment and the
long road that must be traveled to that ultimate goal. Using
remarkably clear and accessible language, the book brings together
the experience and conclusions of many years of spiritual struggle.
