About this title: Hesse's first novel. As a young man, Peter Camerzind leaves the small village he grew up in and sets off on a wanderjahr. He travels through Italy and France, falls in love, and witnesses intense suffering. His youthful idealism shattered by what he has seen, he finds meaning only when he dedicates himself to the care of a cripple.

Library Journal, 09/01/1969 "The present translation reads smoothly. Libraries interested in fiction and in German literature will want to acquire it."
Saturday Review, 10/18/1969 "The book has a few good scenes. There is a tantalizing flirtation with a girl who paints and who finally rejects Camerzind in a rowboat on a lake. The chapters set in Italy have a distinct charm, and throughout there is Hesse's compelling understated intensity. In Germany before the First World War this book launched Hesse as a successful and popular writer."
Christian Science Monitor, 08/21/1969 "Hesse is a writer of suggestion, of nuance, of spiritual intimation; his books are parables rather than compilations of minute data in the realistic manner: 'Peter Camerzind' is the simplest of all his novels....What is missing is the Jungian substructure of myth and archetype that lends strength, permanence, originality to his more mature work." -- Donald W. Heiney
