Kniga rosskaznei - Gesse German

Nobel prize winner Hermann Hesse appears in this book as a master of historical and literary play, a subtle stylizer: here you will find a legend of the Roman Empire or the early Middle Ages, a love story in the spirit of Italian mannerism, stylization of the French novel, a fantastic parable, a dystopia. It was that "small beads" on which Hesse honed his literary skills. The book is based on the author's collection "Fabulierbuch" ("The Book of Stories").
