HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HERMANN HESSE

born July 2, 1877

A man in a suit and tie is reading a book
HERMANN HESSE is a beloved founding father of Revue {R} and his work bears no introduction. 

Hesse was born in a family of wordsmiths; a philosopher mother, a grammarian and polyglot grandfather, and a father, pastor and probable poet. 

This strong intellectual and spiritual background nurtured the author who gave us masterpieces of magical realism and poetry for generations to come. 

A western and discrete mystic, Hesse proved that we all bear a secret India inside of us. 

When the masters' voices fall silent, their work becomes eternal. Happy birthday, Brother-poet!
