{"product_id":"trees-an-anthology-of-writings-and-paintings","title":"Trees: An Anthology of Writings and Paintings","description":"*Winner of the American Translators Association Frederick Ungar Award*\nAn elegant collection of Hermann Hesse’s essays, poems, and passages on the subject of trees and nature, accompanied by thirty-one of his watercolor illustrations.\nHermann Hesse understood trees to be symbols of transcendence and rebirth, of instinctive growth present in all natural life. This elegant collection of his essays, poems, and passages on trees, accompanied by thirty-one of his watercolor illustrations, reveals his inspired thoughts on nature, spirituality, and self-knowledge. Together, his writings and paintings mirror the seasons and landscapes as he experienced them, and help remind us that trees’ annual rings are representations of our own days’ struggle, happiness, and purpose.\n\nIn the author’s words: “They struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfill themselves according to their own laws . . . Whoever has learned to listen to trees no longer wants to be one. He wants to be nothing except who he is.”\n31 full-color watercolors painted by Hermann Hesse\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1737832712\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1737832712.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Michels, Volker|Searls, Damion|Hesse, Hermann\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
