Hesse's character of Harry Haller is a bit Nietzsche-esque, in my opinion. He represents irrationality mixed with erudition and misanthropy mixed with culture. Also, I'm not sure if Nietzsche has ever been properly appreciated or understood. :)

I am still trying to figure out if Hesse was so enthralled with Nietzsche that each of his books is supposed to correspond to one of Nietzsche's. Certainly, there is that possibility - Siddhartha - Zarathustra is the most obvious, but Der Steppenwolf - Der Antichrist seems just as possible. Either that or Menschliches, Allzumenschliches.


That does sound intriguing.

Okay, might read that as well after Kafka, or before. - 01/04/2011 10:53:09 PM 1633 Views
