    My first Hesse novel, read it and it blew me away. I feel a profound connection to it's main characters hatred for/uncomfortable comfort with the trappings of his bourgeois surroundings, plus the shit gets downright surreal at the end.

    In German: read as a teenager, reread in 2005. Hard to read but extremely worthwhile. Dark journey into a human's mind. Hesse is one of the most important German authors. Won't even try to read him in translation.

    Definitivamente quedó grabado en mi corazón. La acción que se desarrolla en el teatro mágico es inolvidable. En esa ocasión uno realmente ve lo que está leyendo.

    This was okay. I enjoyed a few parts but the story itself was not very engaging.

    slow going to start but worth the effort. Nobody does angst like Hesse, except may Kierkegaard...
