Augustus / Der Dichter / Ein Mensch mit Namen Ziegler (German Edition)
Although chiefly known as a novelist, Hermann Hesse is regarded by many as one of the modern masters of the shorter epic forms. He delights in the incredible and in the irrational and therefore has often turned to the "Märchen" as a form of expression. Each of the three Märchen presented here contains a treatment of a problem which appears again and again in Hesse’s writings. This is the problem of the gifted, often envied individual who, set apart or isolated from his fellow men by his extra dimension, longs nonetheless for human contacts. Hesse elsewhere calls this type the "Outsider," a term which characterizes perfectly the heroes of the Märchen "Augustus" and "Der Dichter." In reading "Ein Mensch mit Namen Ziegler" we are again in the presence of an Outsider. However, this time it is not the hero but the narrator who has the role.
