The work of Hermann Hesse is a great wealth. His 1946 Nobel Prize for Literature is justified. But watch his beautiful writing is for an informed public. On the one hand because his literary style uses long sentences that require total concentration, then because his remarks sometimes uses the symbolism. In short with "The Glass Bead Game" we are not in the world of a Guillaume Musso or Marc Levy, but it is a cheering for the Spirit.
