Description

Rosshalde tells a story of the failed marriage of the protagonist, painter Johann Veraguth and his wife Adele. The couple has two sons. The elder son moved away for college, and their younger son, Pierre, lives with them on their estate, Rosshalde. The couple, however, do not live together; Adele lives in the main house with Pierre, while Johann lives in a small house next to them. Pierre is the only thing which links Johann and Adele, and when he becomes very ill, the couple becomes somewhat closer.

Author

Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) was a German-Swiss poet and novelist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946. His books explore the inward journey — the search for authenticity, spiritual balance, and self-knowledge beyond social convention. Siddhartha, Demian, and Steppenwolf made him a guiding voice for generations of readers across Europe and America. Hesse writes with lyrical simplicity about the hardest question: how to become oneself.
