Hesse and 1925. Hermann Lauscher's posthumous writings and poetry was the title of a small book that Hermann Hesse wrote between 1896 and 1899, and published in November 1900 in Basel. The booklet appeared in a very small edition, almost on the margin of public opinion and was only known by a small circle of friends, until it was published again in 1920. It is one of the works of youth of the author, in which he brings up and puts before the view of the reader the anguish and the deep creative work of a young poet, who tries to discover the how and why in himself and in their environment, something that they can not understand. History
Since the booklet came out in a very small edition, he never thought of reissuing it, but some close friends begged him earnestly. Since he saw no reason to deny an age of his youth, and seeing himself with the intention of justifying the style employed, he yielded to such prayers and propositions. The question arose as to how he was to re-awaken the sins of his youth. He first thought of a recast of the book, but he soon recognized that the thoughts and feelings of a boy of twenty years can not be corrected ten years later, because its relative value lies precisely in expression, in rhythm, in attitude. And suppressing some things or beautifying others did not seem the most appropriate thing.
The text remained the same. But in spite of everything, it seemed to him expedient to extend the fragmentary booklet of so small a volume. Then he added two short writings of those times: Lulu and Nights of insomnia. The first had only appeared in a Swiss magazine; the second had not yet been published. The two are in close relationship with the Lauscher and were created at the same time.
In short, Hermann Hesse defines the Lauscher as: it is only a book of confessions for me and my friends
