- Description: In 1911, Hermann Hesse embarked on a journey to Ceylon, Sumatra, and Malaysia in search of inner peace. However, he never managed to reach India (his main destination), which he only skirted due to dysentery and lack of money. He returned to Gaienhofen still sick and exhausted. Seeking to change this situation, in 1912, he and Maria decided to move to Bern. Unfortunately, even this new change did not benefit Hesse's health. Meanwhile, his son Martin fell ill, and in 1914, he was taken to a sanatorium. In 1913, Hesse had published his journal 'Fuori dall'India' about his journey to the Far East, followed by the novella Rosshalde

On September 6, 1911, Hermann Hesse boards the "Prinz Eitel Friedrich" in Genoa in the company of his friend, the painter Hans Sturzenegger, to travel to India, the country in which his grandparents, his father and his mother worked as missionaries. In actual fact, however, it turns out to be a trip not to India but to Indonesia: Penang, Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo, and Burma.
