A new 2023 translation of Hesse's 1932 The Journey to the East (in German Die Morgenlandfahrt). Literally the title translates to "Tomorrowland" but historically it has been translated as "The Journey to the East". This edition also contains an epilogue by the translator, a philosophical glossary of concepts used by Hesse and a chronology of his life and work. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. He also received the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt in 1946 and the 1955 Peace Prize of the German Booksellers. Hesse himself said the point of the story was "the loneliness of the spiritual human being in our time and the need to classify his personal life and actions into a suprapersonal whole, an idea and a community, a longing for service, a search for community, liberation from sterile, lonely virtuosity of the artist." "The Journey to the East" is a narrative by Hermann Hesse, first published in 1932, which describes a journey into a spiritual East. Hermann Hesse began working on "The Journey to the East" in the summer of 1930, shortly before moving within Montagnola from Casa Camuzzi to a house newly built for him by Hans Conrad Bodmer, and just before his marriage to his third wife, Ninon Dolbin. His old eye ailment had worsened, and Hesse was on the verge of blindness. After painful surgeries, he had to lie in a darkened room for weeks. He dedicated the work, completed in April 1931, to his patron Bodmer and his wife Elsy. It was pre-printed in the magazine "Corona," edited by Bodmer's son, the same year, and the first edition was published by S. Fischer Verlag in 1932. Alfred Kubin designed the dust jacket, cover, and vignette on the title page. The Journey to the East"abandons the sublime style characteristic of "The Glass Bead Game" or "Siddhartha," and is instead written in a fresh, poetically enchanting, and sometimes almost youthfully naive language. It is a fairy-tale-like poem that directly addresses the reader. The narrative is full of symbols, metaphors, and parables, which are often incomprehensible to the reader without detailed knowledge of the biographical and contemporary historical background. Hesse himself wrote in a letter to Alice Leuthold: "The symbolism itself does not necessarily have to become 'clear' to the reader; he should not understand in the sense of 'explaining,' but rather he should absorb the images and their meaning, what they contain as a parable of life, and swallow it on the side; the effect then sets in unconsciously."

"A great writer . . . complex, subtle, allusive." - New York Times Book Review In simple, mesmerizing prose, Hermann Hesse's Journey to the East tells of a journey both geographic and spiritual. H.H., a German choirmaster, is invited on an expedition with the League, a secret society whose members include Paul Klee, Mozart, and Albertus Magnus. The participants traverse both space and time, encountering Noah's Ark in Zurich and Don Quixote at Bremgarten. The pilgrims' ultimate destination is the East, the "Home of the Light," where they expect to find spiritual renewal. Yet the harmony that ruled at the outset of the trip soon degenerates into open conflict. Each traveler finds the rest of the group intolerable and heads off in his own direction, with H.H. bitterly blaming the others for the failure of the journey. It is only long after the trip, while poring over records in the League archives, that H.H. discovers his own role in the dissolution of the group, and the ominous significance of the journey itself.

Hermann Hesse's voyage to the East Indies, recorded in journal entries and other writings translated into English for the first time, describes the experiences that influenced his greatest works. “I knew but few of the trees and animals that I saw around me by name, I was unable to read the Chinese inscriptions, and could exchange only a few words with the children, but nowhere in foreign lands have I felt so little like a foreigner and so completely enfolded by the self-existing naturalness of life’s clear river as I did here.” In 1911, Hermann Hesse sailed through southeastern Asian waters on a trip that would define much of his later writing. Hesse brings his unique eye to scenes such as adventures in a rickshaw, watching foreign theater performances, exploring strange floating cities on stilts, and luxuriating in the simple beauty of the lush natural landscape. Even in the doldrums of travel, he records his experience with faithful humor, wit, and sharp observation, offering a broad vision of travel in the early 1900s. With a glimpse into the workings of his mind through the pages of his journals, poems, and a short story—all translated into English for the first time—these writings describe the real-life experiences that inspired Hesse to pen his most famous works.
