About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. In the remote Kingdom of Castalia, the scholars of the Twenty Third century play the Glass Bead Game. The elaborately coded game is a fusion of all human knowledge - of maths, music, philosophy, science, and art. Intrigued as a school boy, Joseph Knecht becomes consumed with mastering the game as an adult.
Synopsis
The Glass Bead Game is the last work and magnum opus of the German author Hermann Hesse. Begun in 1931 and published in Switzerland in 1943, after being rejected for publication in Nazi Germany, the book was mentioned in Hesse's citation for the 1946 Nobel Prize for Literature.
