Literary Birthday - 2 July - Hermann Hesse Happy Birthday, Hermann Hesse, born 2 July 1877, died 9 August 1962 Seven Quotes Words do not express thoughts very well.

His best-known works includeSteppenwolf, Siddhartha, and The Glass Bead Game. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.writers-write-creative-blog.posthaven/literary-birthday-2-july-hermann-hesse
