Summary "Gertrud" by Hermann Hesse is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the introspective musings of its protagonist, who grapples with his life, choices, and the significance of music, particularly as it relates to love and personal fulfillment. At the start of the novel, the narrator reflects on his life through a lens of turmoil and inner struggle, contemplating the dichotomy of happiness and unhappiness. He reveals his childhood as a time of freedom shaped by music, which becomes a central theme throughout his narrative. The protagonist recounts pivotal moments, such as his first love and the subsequent heartache, intertwined with his artistic aspirations. He shares not only his initial passion for music but the trials he faced in pursuing it, outlining his experiences at school and his encounters with love and disappointment that ultimately influence his journey as a composer.
