This is an automatically translated description

The life and work of Hermann Hesse in 1918-1925 are marked by diverse trends in the author's ideological and aesthetic development.

While "Wanderings," "The Spa Man," and "A Trip to Nuremberg" are linked by autobiographical motifs, the stories "In the Pressel Garden House" and "The Childhood Years of Francis of Assisi" fall somewhat out of this line chronologically and thematically. What they all have in common, however, is the motif of wandering, the writer's desire to learn something new, to escape from everyday reality and to try to find an "inner homeland" where the traveller Hesse feels comfortable on the physical, psychological, and spiritual levels.

This book is the author's reflections expressed in various artistic genres: drawings, prose miniatures, and philosophical poems. This is a kind of journey "to oneself", a search for an answer to the question of how to live further.
