Fascinating insights into Hesse's personal search for truth. A concise, compelling analysis of Hesse's life and work. Wilson provides an important assessment of classic novels such as The Glass Bead Game - for which Hesse won the Nobel Prize - as well as all-time favorites, Siddhartha and Steppenwolf. Wilson's first book, The Outsider, effectively put Hesse back on the map, resulting in the Hesse revival of the 1960s. This eBook is printer-friendly and search-friendly and contains the complete 48 page text of the original paperback edition.
