Soul of the age

Viac o knihe

This collection contains some 300 letters (Hesse wrote more than 30,000 during his lifetime) which provide an intimate look at the writer's three marriages and his relationships with his sons, friends, and colleagues, as well as a record of his early resistance to and despair at the two world wars, his interest in contemporary literature, and his love for nature. Steppenwolf, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The glass bead game are among the most widely read novels of this century. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
