Critics Review
“Rilke, T. S. Eliot, Gide, Thomas Mann rightly called Hesse a master… His fiction achieves the glorious anachronism of art: created in the past, it speaks to us in the present.

“Hesse is a writer of suggestion, of nuance, of spiritual intimation.” –Christian Science Monitor
“One of the defining spirits of our century.” –Ralph Freedman, Princeton University
