Cuentos maravillosos

by Hermann Hesse, Thomas Kauf (Translator)

Overview

In addition to publishing such unforgettable novels as Siddhartha or The Steppe Wolf, Hermann Hesse cultivated the genre of the short story throughout his life in its most diverse variants, and always with an acuteness and sensitivity for which it is difficult to find a term of comparison. Wonderful Stories brings together one of the veins explored by Hesse in his short narrative, that of stories in which magic and wonder, which are revealed as forms of love, take on a decisive role and refer us to childhood. Little narrative gems that no attentive reader will forget.
