The Journey to the East

Style and Technique

Hermann Hesse's style in «The Journey to the East» is characterized by philosophical depth and symbolism. The language of the work is rich with metaphors and allegories, giving the text a multilayered quality that allows readers to interpret it on various levels. Literary techniques include the use of internal monologue, which helps to reveal the protagonist's inner world and spiritual quests.
