Title: Hesse's Master Work
Review: From a writer more commonly working in shorter fiction, or at depths that require intense concentration, this book is an masterpiece of extended prose that balances depth and lyricism, scenery and thought, secular and divine. The dualities compliment the exploration of the two lives - the golden voice and the self-regarding man. But only by the names are these polarized, they could be argued to be either. As you finally leave the book you may feel expelled from a world and time more wonderful than the one you wake to, and with a closing movement as stunning as the final pages of Grapes of Wrath or Growth of the Soil, or Family Moscat.
