Hermann Hesse: A Pictorial Biography - Michels, Volker

This book is an album of unknown photographic and textual material which was first discovered among Hesse's literary effects after his death. Over 200 photographs chronicle his family background, school, and apprentice years, his first literary efforts, and initial successes, travels to India and throughout Europe, & continuing growth as a writer. These photographs, apart from illustrating Hesse's long and varied life, amply document his position in the cultural life of his time and his relationships with celebrated contemporaries.
