About this title

Review

" Rilke, T. S. Eliot, Gide, Thomas Mann rightly called Hesse a master ... & nbsp; His fiction achieves the glorious anachronism of art: created in the past, it speaks to us in the present.& nbsp; It glorifies the strategies of attempting to become a full human being and it celebrates the nobility of failure. " --Webster Schott, Life
& nbsp;
" Hesse is& nbsp; a writer of suggestion, of nuance, of spiritual intimation. " -- Christian Science Monitor
& nbsp;
" One of the defining spirits of our century. " --Ralph Freedman, Princeton University
