you will not kill

Hermann Hesse, with whom Turkish readers have a passionate relationship, especially with his books called Steppenwolf, The Bead Game and Siddhartha, has gained the respect of his writer colleagues and the love of many successive generations, and has become an author whose works have been translated into various languages and are read in every continent of the world. Thomas Mann said of Hesse, whom Hugo Ball described as the last knight of the glorious army of Romanticism, in the early period of his literary activity, "the writer I find closest to myself, the writer I choose from among the writers and to whom I am most fondly attached", and Peter Handke said in 1970, at the peak of the Hesse renaissance, "Hesse is undoubtedly "He is a great writer who knows what he is doing and who will pass all evaluations with flying colors."

In his work, Hesse, who resorts to thought instead of art with the longing to bend the two poles of life and bring them closer together, considers the unity that the world and the universe will reach by overcoming polarity as the most sacred truth for him.

Thou Shalt Not Kill contains a selection of numerous essays by Hermann Hesse; Clear, sincere thoughts and articles written in a direct language bring together different themes from different periods. The book consists of five sections: "Early Period Thoughts", "Political Views on the First World War", "On World View", "Literary Writings", "Late Period Thoughts". For the reader who encounters Hermann Hesse's clear literature with great joy and interest, Selected Essays titled "Thou Shalt Not Kill" are a good step towards simplifying thoughts in the age we live in, bombarded with images and information pollution.
