I love Herman Hesse

“We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other's opposite and complement.”

Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

He’s great. I read most of his books in college.

Me too, have read most of his books and I liked all of them…

LeopoldBloom · M

@Soossie Not to change the subject, but have you read anything by J.M. Coetzee?

Soossie

@LeopoldBloom

Unfortunately not… I’m not familiar with his/her works… here in Iran we get to read only some books which are licensed to be published…

@Soossie Coetzee is a South African author who won the Nobel Prize in fiction. Most of his books aren't remotely political, except one that really doesn't apply outside of South Africa. It would be a shame if the Iranian government censored him.

You might be able to download on zlibrary unless it's blocked.
