Pronunciation of Hermann Hesse?

I've read a few of his books and he's a great author but i'm unsure on how to pronounce his last name. Is it "Hess" or Hessy". I'm guessing on the latter but not sure. Also feel free to throw in your favorite book of his that you've read. Mine is Narcissus and Goldmund, but that might be because I just finished it. Maybe Siddhartha. Thanks in advance.

Hair-mahn Hess-uh





I think I'd have to vote for Siddhartha, but Magister Ludi is a close second. They're all great.

That's what I was always told :)
