A review by warrenl
The Journey to the East by Hermann Hesse
3.0
There seem to be as many interpretations of this odd little book as there are readers of it. In it I saw a reflection of my own ongoing journey through the world of literature, history, philosophy and science, guided and accompanied by great characters both created and real; perhaps without the loss of faith and consequent distress experienced by the protagonist/narrator.
In my opinion this particular edition is overburdened by its lengthy, turgid introduction by Timothy Leary, although there are one or two nuggets of interest to be panned from it.
