Here is a fresh translation from Sherab Ch dzin Kohn, a gifted translator and longtime student of Buddhism and Eastern philosophy. Kohn's flowing, poetic translation conveys the philosophical and spiritual nuances of Hesse's text, paying special attention to the qualities of meditation experience.

He was the son and grandson of Protestant missionaries and was educated in religious schools until the age of thirteen, when he dropped out of school. At age eighteen he moved to Basel, Switzerland, to work as a bookseller and lived in Switzerland for most of his life. His early novels include \u003ci\u003ePeter Camenzind \u003c\/i\u003e (1904), \u003ci\u003e Beneath the Wheel \u003c\/i\u003e (1906), \u003ci\u003eGertrud\u003c\/i\u003e (1910), and \u003ci\u003eRosshalde\u003c\/i\u003e (1914). During this period Hesse married and had three sons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring World War I Hesse worked to supply German prisoners of war with reading materials and expressed his pacifist leanings in antiwar tracts and novels. Hesse's lifelong battles with depression drew him to study Freud during this period and, later, to undergo analysis with Jung. His first major literary success was the novel \u003ci\u003eDemian\u003c\/i\u003e (1919). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Hesse's first marriage ended, he moved to Montagnola, Switzerland, where he created his best-known works: \u003ci\u003eSiddhartha \u003c\/i\u003e(1922), \u003ci\u003eSteppenwolf \u003c\/i\u003e(1927), \u003ci\u003eNarcissus and Goldmund \u003c\/i\u003e (1930), \u003ci\u003eJourney to the East \u003c\/i\u003e(1932), and \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Bead Game \u003c\/i\u003e (1943).
