El Último Verano En Klingsor. Alma de Niño - Hesse, Hermann

. .

Résumé :
The Last Months of the Painter Klingsor's Life are months full of desire to live and obsession with work, at the same time as the presentiment of death, which he feels close to, arises. He is only 42 years old, but he has had a life too full and passionate to last much longer. This will thus be his last station. The pleasure and torment of painting, the joy and obsession of creation, sincere friendship, a delicate new love, the charm of nature and his restless soul accompany him in his last days. Child's Soul, meanwhile, is the masterful analysis of the behavior and moods of a boy who commits a petty theft in his own home. Through these stories, Hesse unleashes anguish, love and death, the great issues of his literary universe that led him to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.
