A tight and unmarked copy-" The short stories in this book demonstrate the intriguing mystical qualities that make Hermann Hesse such a rich and powerful writer. Among others there is the tale of Augustus, whom everybody loved on sight, but who only found happiness when he was hated; of Han Fook, who forsook the world to learn all he could about the poet's art; and of Faldum, the city, whose annual fair turned into a miracle. The author's delight in detail and his lyrical appreciation of beauty make this a collection to treasure."
