Download The Seasons of the Soul: The Poetic Guidance and Spiritual Wisdom of Hermann Hesse AudioBook Free
Vowing at an early age "to be always a poet or nothing at all", Hermann Hesse rebelled against formal education, focusing on a demanding program of independent review that included literature, philosophy, fine art, and record. One consequence of these efforts was some books that became counterculture bibles that remain widely important today. Another was a body of evocative spiritual poetry. Released for the first time in British, these brilliant, probing brief works represent deeply on the issues of life and offer a spiritual solace that transcends specific denominational hymns, prayers, and rituals. The Times of the Spirit offers valuable assistance in poetic form for those desiring a more important life, seeking a sense of homecoming in characteristics, in each stage of life, in a restored romance with the divine. Considerable quotations from his prose introduce each theme dealt with in the booklet: love, imagination, characteristics, the divine, and the duration of time. A foreword by Andrew Harvey reintroduces us to a number about whom some may have believed everything had already been said. Thoughtful commentary throughout from translator Ludwig Utmost Fischer helps readers understand the poems within the framework of Hesse's life.
