My favorite book

Who is my favorite author? I asked this question to myself a while ago, and the answer came quickly to my mind.
My favorite autor is Hermann Hesse, he was a german writer, poet, novelist and painter.

He wrote aboute great topics, like dark or depressive, topics that he addresses very well in his books. My favorite book is Demian, when i was a teeneager in my 14 years old I read that book and was surprised by the theme, how deep it was in telling the story, the charisma that imbued the characters, when I finished it I thought "what a good book, I'd read it again", one of the few books that has given me mental satisfaction.

The last book I read was "Uzumaki" by Junji Ito. It is an adult horror "manga", his illustrations are terrifying and the story is grim and involving.



If you like those things (horror, dismal atmosphere and extravagant ilustration) I highly recommend it. It's not that I like dark and depressing things, is just that the relate is well done, both from a modern Japanese manga author and an old German writer. It's great how different cultures deal with issues from different perspectives.
