Hesse's father, Johannes Hesse, was born in 1847 in Estonia, the son of a doctor.In 1880 the family moved to Switzerland. After successful attendance at the Latin School in Goppimgen, Hesse began to attend the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Maulbronn in 1891. Here in March 1892, Hesse showed his rebellious character: he fled from the Seminary and was found in a field a day later.
During this time, Hesse began a journey through various institutions and schools, and experienced intense conflicts with his parents. In May, after an attempt at suicide, he spent time at an institution in Bad Boll. Later he was placed in a mental institution in Basel.


At the end of 1892, he attended the Gymnasium in Cannstatt. In 1893, he passed the One Year Examination, which concluded his schooling.On October 17, 1895, Hesse began working in the bookshop in Tübingen, which had a collection specializing in theology, philology, and law. Hesse's assignment there consisted of organizing, packing, and archiving the books. After the end of each twelve hour workday, his prefered the books rather than friends. . In 1896 his poem 'Madonna' appeared in a Viennese periodical.
Hesse married Maria Bernoulli in 1904, he had three sons, in the First World in 1914, Hesse registered himself as a volunteer, he was assigned to service involving the care of war prisoners.deeper life crisis befell Hesse with the death of his father on March, 1916, the difficult sickness of his son Martin, and his wife's scizophrenia. He was forced to leave his military service and begin receiving psychotherapy. This began for Hesse a long preoccupation with psychoanalysis, through which he came to know Carl Jung personally, and was challenged to new creative heights: During a three-week period during September and October 1917, Hesse penned his novel Damian, which would be published following the armistice in 1919.
Hesse death in 1962, his novels enjoyed a revival of popularity due to their association with some of the themes of the counterculture of the 1660s (or " hippie" movement). In particular, the quest-for-enlightenment theme of Siddhartha, Journey to the East, and Narcissus and Goldmund resonated with countercultural ideals.
Hesse received honorary citizenship from his home city of Calw, and additionally, throughout Germany many schools are named after him. Hesse was born poet, novelist, and painter. In 1946, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. His best known works include Steppenwolf, Siddharta, and The Glass Bead Game (also known as Magister Ludi) which explore an individual's search for spirituality outside society

Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda is the nickname of Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, who was a famous Chilean poet. Nowadays, he is considered as one of the highest Spanish poets from the XX century. During his life, he won several prizes, including the Nobel Prize in Literature (1971), the Literature National Prize (1945), and the Lenin Prize of the Peace (1953).

Neruda was born in Parral (July 12th, 1094). His parents were a railroad man and an elementary school teacher. He studied in the ‘Liceo de Hombres” from 1910 to 1920; after that he studied French pedagogy in the University of Chile in Santiago.

He started writing when he was a child. His first poems were dedicated to his mother, who passed away months after his birth. These poems included phrases such as: ‘I was born when my mom was dying’ or ‘Mom; I have come late to kiss you’.

Neruda wrote several books. Crepusculario was the first book, but it did not become known (1923). After that, he wrote ‘20 love poems and a desperate song’, book that has been a best seller (more than 1 million of copies). ‘I confess that I have lived’ was his final book; it was printed in the same year he died.

Chilean government recognized his talent and career; they incorporated him as a member of the Chilean Consular Corps (1927 – 1944).

The poem 20 is an extraordinary story of memories about a person who is not longer there. The sentence ‘es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido’ shows the intensity of his writings and the royalty to his feelings and thoughts.

The Chilean government generated a mail stamp in his honor, when it was 100 years of his birth.
