Favola d'amore

Di Hermann Hesse

Dall’unione di pittura e scrittura nasce Favola d’amore, un libretto illustrato in cui la narrazione e i dipinti di Hesse si fondono in un unicum inscindibile per descrivere la vicenda di un giovane pittore, Pictor.
Quest'ultimo, vagando per il Paradiso, incontra un uccello dai mille colori. A lui Pictor pone la domanda delle domande: “Dov’è dunque la felicità?”
Un elogio all'amore, forza inspiegabile e misteriosa.

Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse was a highly acclaimed German author. He was known most famously for his novels Steppenwolfand Siddhartha and his novel The Glass Bead Game earned Hesse a Nobel prize in Literature in 1946. Many of his works explore topics pertaining to self-prescribed societal ostracization. Hesse was fascinated with ways in which one could break the molds of traditional society in an effort to dig deeper into the conventions of selfhood. His fascination with personal awareness earned himself something of a following in the later part of his career. Perceived thus as a sort of “cult-figure” for many young English readers, Hesse’s works were a gateway into their expanding understanding of eastern mysticism and spirituality. Despite Hesse’s personal fame, Siddhartha, was not an immediate success. It was only later that his works received noticeable recognition, largely with audiences internationally. The Glass Bead Game was Hermann Hesse’s final novel, though he continued to express his beliefs through varying forms of art including essays, poems, and even watercolor paintings.
