Considerations Compilation of Great Reflections of the Life of Hermann Hesse

This book offers a compilation of Hermann Hesse's considerations on old age, that stage of life in which things and surroundings take on a pleasant surrealism, and in which memories truly outweigh real events. For Hesse, who writes with the perspective that the years give, old age is that time of transition in which, in search of a kind of balance in the face of the ailments of the body, we reactivate "that treasure in images that we carry in our memory after a long life, images to which, by reducing our activity, we give a very different dimension to that granted until then. Human characters, who are no longer on Earth, continue to live in us, they belong to us, they provide us with company and they look at us with eyes full of life.
