Le voyage en Orient, Hermann Hesse

A man sets out to recount the journey to the Orient he once made. Along this initiatory, symbolic and real journey, he accompanies pilgrims, "awakened ones" to use Hermann Hesse's pietistic language, as they make their way along the roads of knowledge. "We walked towards the East, but we also crossed the Middle Ages or the Golden Age, we traversed Italy and Switzerland, but we also sometimes camped in the 10th century and stayed with patriarchs and fairies". For Hesse, this adventure of enlightenment, certainty and doubt represents the path to wisdom, self-fulfillment and self-discovery.
