Into the book
Anyone who picks a small flower and keeps it by his side while working has taken the first step toward joy in life.
--- From "Small Joys"
The road to salvation does not lead to the left or the right.
The path leads only to one's own heart.
Only there is God, only there is peace.
--- From "Farmhouse"
I am alone, but I do not suffer from loneliness.
I want things to be as they are and nothing more.
I am ready to surrender myself to the sun until it ripens completely.
I am eager to ripen.
I am ready to die and I am ready to be reborn.
The world has become more beautiful.
--- From "Mountain Road"
The experience of sobbing here led to courageous steps forward there, and the painful emotions felt at one stage returned as encouragement, impulse, and self-realization at another.
--- From "My Diary"
If humans can find joy in the midst of life's hardships and dangers, then they will be able to continue to overcome their own ambiguity and give meaning to their existence.
To a true human being, a healthy and whole human being, the world and God constantly reveal their existence through various miracles.
--- From "Happiness"
Until all this passes, until despair wears away, until something like sleep or comfort beckons me.
(…) Days like these, filled with anxiety, disgust, and despair, will come again and again.
Even so, I will still be alive and I will still love life.

Publisher's Review
Hesse's letter to those tired of the pace of life
Modern people are increasingly suffering from impatience.
Hesse sharply observes the 'virtue of busyness' that has become a chronic disease of our time.
“As much as possible, as fast as possible” has become the slogan of our time.
As a result, entertainment is increasing, but joy is decreasing.”
What Hesse chose to appease the haunted souls was literature.
Hesse's beautiful sentences introduce the path to true happiness.
The small flower I picked today, the sky I look up at on my way to work in the morning, the carefully built stone steps of a farmhouse…
If you follow Hesse's gaze, you will find the joy and wonder of life everywhere.
Soothe the hardships of life and find true happiness
35 deeply insightful essays and poems
《Because I Love This Life》 is composed of three parts.
Part 1 contains praise for the small joys of everyday life and nature, Part 2 contains hope for enduring sadness and loneliness, and Part 3 contains Hesse's philosophy and thoughts on living as oneself.
This trend also resembles Hesse's literary life, in which he contemplated the meaning of self and true happiness throughout his life.
This book will be a precious opportunity to follow the inner journey of our most beloved author.
Hesse suffered more than anyone else from the violence and contradictions of the world, and he recorded the sense of loss and despair he felt when “he was so overcome with grief that he could no longer bear life.”
Yet, he never lost sight of the joy and optimism that began with “picking a small flower and placing it beside me.”
Hesse knew that the driving force in life was not great success or fame, but the inner voice and the happiness that blossomed every day.
Through writings such as “Small Joy,” “Letters to a Young Poet,” and “Fragments of Our Time Toward a Philosophy of Life,” we discover the value of “overcoming loneliness and trials once again” and “enduring one’s share of anxiety.”
If you are lost in a world where everything is consumed quickly, stop for a moment and ponder Hesse's famous quote.
“If humans can find joy in the midst of life’s hardships and dangers, (…) they will be able to continue to overcome their own ambiguity and give meaning to their existence.”
By returning to ourselves through Hesse's writing, we may find the answers we were missing.
Hesse's writings, filled with quiet joy throughout, will serve as a guide to life that we can revisit in these uncertain times.
