« Back to The Book That Changed My Life
Author: Hermann Hesse
SynopsisSet in the 23rd century, The Glass Bead Game is the story of Joseph Knecht, who has been raised in Castalia, the remote place his society has provided for the intellectual elite to grow and flourish. Since childhood, Knecht has been consumed with mastering the Glass Bead Game, which requires a synthesis of aesthetics and scientific arts, such as mathematics, music, logic, and philosophy, which he achieves in adulthood, becoming a Magister Ludi (Master of the Game).
My Story
Gifted to me by a beautiful friend and colleague after a tour to Australia. It is almost impossible to describe what this book is about as it is about 'everything', about 'thought' itself. I treasure this exquisite book.
