Synopsis
Hermann Hesse's Rosshalde is the classic story of a man torn between obligations to his family and his longing for a spiritual fulfillment that can only be found outside the confines of conventional society.
Johann Veraguth, a wealthy, successful artist, is estranged from his wife and stifled by the unhappy union. Veraguth's love for his young son and his fear of drifting rootlessly keep him bound within the walls of his opulent estate, Rosshalde. Yet, when he is shaken by an unexpected tragedy, Veraguth finally finds the courage to leave the desolate safety of Rosshalde and travels to India to discover himself anew.

Rosshalde
Seller: Chapitre.com : livres et presse ancienne, LAMNAY, France
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Rosshalde, c'est le nom du domaine quelque part en Allemagne où vivent un peintre de grand talent, Johann Veraguth, son épouse, Adèle, et leur petit garçon, Pierre, avant la Première Guerre mondiale. La nature y est somptueuse et la vaste maison est une de ces demeures de famille synonymes, pour le coeur de beacoup, de souvenirs précieux. Mais ici la réalité est tout autre : l'enfant, sensible et fragile, devient une source de conflit entre ses parents, qui ne communiquent plus et se déchirent. Victime de la haine des adultes, il tombe gravement malade. Ce drame va déterminer en grande partie le destin de Johann, l'obligeant à poser un regard lucide sur sa vie, à renoncer aux mirages de la jeunesse avec dans les mains son unique bien: sa valeur d"artiste. Rosshalde reste en marge de l'oeuvre de Hesse par un style inhabituel: un ton glacé qui sert merveilleusement bien le sujet du livre, l'incommunicabilité entre les êtres. Il questionne la valeur de l'engagement de l'artiste, le malheur en tant que fondement del'acte créateur. - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol.
