Sinopse

Klingsor's Last Summer brings together independently written short stories connected by a common theme: anguish. In this book, Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse explores feelings of anguish and guilt in three stages of life: childhood, middle age, and old age.

Klingsor's Last Summer is a collection of three short masterpieces written around the same time as Hermann Hesse's two most celebrated creations— Demian and Siddhartha . In the first story, "A Child's Soul," the author explores the genesis of guilt and anguish through the narrative of a boy's emotions toward his father.

In the second story, “Klein and Wagner,” we see an even deeper dive into the themes already addressed in the first narrative, with a complex story of crime, punishment, and redemption.

In "The Last Summer of Klingsor," Hesse offers us an allegory filled with discussions about love, the representation of the world, art, posterity, and magic. He narrates the final months of the life of an expressionist painter, considered by many to be a literary portrait of the writer's nature. It is a starting point for a story that combines the wisdom of Chinese poets with the anguish of an artist facing the vicissitudes of his life and the legacy of his work.
