«Viaje a Oriente» is Hermann Hesse's allegorical novel, published by Ediciones Paidós in hardcover (176 pages, in Spanish).
A member of a secret brotherhood recalls a collective expedition to the East that, more than a geographical journey, is an initiatory voyage through space and time. The work combines the real, the dreamlike and the fantastic to address symbolic death, spiritual rebirth and the search for meaning in existence.
Originally published in 1932 under the title Die Morgenlandfahrt; this edition is part of the El arco de Ulises collection.
Recommended for readers of Hermann Hesse and for those seeking a brief allegory about inner development and the search for meaning.
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.
