"The City" (Die Stadt), now available in an illustrated format, narrates the emergence of industrial cities and their transformation from forests and meadows to self-glorifying urban landscapes. The book explores how these cities, adorned with their own self-image, gradually encroached upon the territories of villages and farms, bringing about significant societal and cultural changes. Hermann Hesse, with eloquent prose, depicts the progression of urbanization and its impact on the customs and traditions of the society. Ultimately, the author skillfully articulates the collapse of the city and its underlying causes in a beautifully crafted narrative. This story serves as a timeless and universal model for what humanity calls civilization, illustrating an enduring challenge where nature ultimately triumphs over human endeavors. It provides a compelling portrayal of an age-old struggle that has repeated itself, with nature prevailing each time against the advancement of civilization.
