«Gertrud» is the novel by German writer Hermann Hesse, published by Mondadori in 1986 in paperback (269 pages, in Italian).
The novel centers on Kuhn, a young composer whose musical vocation is marked by deafness and unrequited love. Hesse weaves together music, friendship and solitude to show how art is also born of pain and renunciation, and how a person's destiny is decided by fidelity to oneself.
Work originally published in 1910. This Italian edition belongs to the Oscar narrativa collection from Mondadori, with an introduction by Roberto Fertonani and translation by Maria Teresa Mandalari.
For readers of classic European fiction and novels about music, artistic creation and unrequited feelings.
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.
