Synopsis
A work of science fiction by the acclaimed German author and Nobel Laureate. Purportedly a historical chronicle written in the year 2400, it describes the rise to political prominence of an elite organization of scholars, called the Castalia. As the only educated class left within society, the Castalia are responsible for preserving and handing on as much of the culture of the past as has been preserved.

Publisher's Note
Setting his story in the distant, post-Holocaust future, Hesse tells of an elite cult of intellectuals occupying themselves with an elaborate game that employs all the cultural and scientific knowledge of the ages. The most imaginative and prophetic of Hesse's works.

Industry Reviews
"['The Glass Bead Game'] is a book about the future which is really about the past; a timeless, universal game which is also the toy of a quaint passing culture; a work filled with impressive learning yet leading to a negation of reason and knowledge....It is Hesse's vision, then, that excites his readers. In such a context, questions of artistic form or dramatic involvement are not really decisive. Indeed, Hesse's admirers look at his fiction as a philosophical panorama."
New York Times Book Review - Ralph Freedman (01/04/1970)

"It is difficult to envision teenyboppers or sub-verbal hippies or sorority sisters ploughing through 'The Glass Bead Game,' for this is really a most challenging book, a triumph of imaginative power reminiscent in tone of late Conrad and just as hard to penetrate....The novel's landscape is vast and suggestive; its tone all-encompassing; its themes resonant with overtones; its passages of poetry of a magnificence unequaled in the earlier novels."
Sherman

"The present translation reads smoothly. Libraries interested in fiction and in German literature will want to acquire [it]"
Kessel
