关于此电子书

Hermann Hesse's Diesseits, published in 1907, is an essay that delves into profound reflections on life and human existence. The title Diesseits translates to "this side" or "this world" in German, and the work explores human experiences in the real world, focusing on inner conflicts and the pursuit of happiness and meaning within this realm. In this essay, Hesse contrasts the real world with a transcendent one to examine the essence of life. He emphasizes that the pain, joy, failures, and successes that people experience are essential components of life. Diesseits conveys the message that, rather than seeking spiritual salvation or relying on a higher realm, humans should discover the meaning of life within this very world. Hesse argues that to find true happiness, one must not avoid life but face and accept reality. This essay, like many of his other works, reflects his deep understanding of the human inner world and the essence of existence.
