The Journey to the East

De: Hermann Hesse

Narrado por: Yosef Kent

The story of a youthful pilgrimage that seemingly failed. As the book opens, the narrator is engaged is writing the chronicle of this remembered adventure - the central experience of his youth. As he becomes immersed in retelling the chronicle, the writer realizes that only he has failed, that the youthful pilgrimage continues in a shining and mysterious way.

terrible reading

The narrator mispronounced many words and read in a monotone. I regret spending my time on this instead of reading the book myself.

The Dream like Quality of the Story

It seemed to me that the author was writing about his experience of writing his masterpiece Siddhartha. Knowing that he had severe writer's block and almost did not finish the book made it seem so in my opinion.

Herman Hesse is one of my favorite.

Herman Hesse is one of my favorite. He didn’t disappoint with this one as well.

Reader does not grasp the story

Immature male reader. Like a teenager killing a precious art object

Impossible to listen to.

Narration is awful

I absolutely love Herman Hesse and was excited to listen to this book. However, the narration of this audiobook is so bad that I can’t listen to it. Too bad. Will have to read the good old fashioned way.
