Thomas Mann, Max Brod and Hermann Hesse introduced Mein Stundenbuch and Geschichte ohne Wort. These novels develop a narrative exposition of the dangers and pains linked to sentimental adventures and passionate love, damaging for a man discovering the world, and notably for the artist who has to protect his ability. Masereel’s images of the woman are characterized differently by the authors. For Hesse, she is a “clever, cold female”. For Brod, she is “an especially fragile and naughty girl” bringing “an evil enchantment”, “followed by a painful awakening.” Mann concludes that, ultimately, Masereel’s hero “has had enough of love” and needs to separate “the practical man”, decided to control his life, from “the intellectual and imaginative man”. Dans les années 1920-1930, l’éditeur Kurt Wolff demanda à des écrivains célèbres de présenter certains « romans graphiques » de Frans Masereel. Thomas Mann, Max Brod et Hermann Hesse présentèrent Mon livre d’heures et Histoire sans paroles. On montre que ces romans développent une exposition narrative des dangers et douleurs accompagnant les aventures sentimentales et la passion amoureuse, dommageables pour un homme à la découverte du monde, et particulièrement pour un artiste soucieux de préserver ses capacités. L’image de la femme chez Masereel est ainsi caractérisée différemment. Pour Hesse, il s’agit d’une « intelligente, froide femelle ». Pour Brod, c’est « une fille particulièrement fragile et méchante », qui apporte « un mauvais enchantement ». Mann conclut que, finalement, le héros de Masereel « en a assez de l’amour » et éprouve le besoin de séparer « l’homme pratique », décidé à contrôler sa vie, de « l’homme intellectuel et imaginatif ».
