Collection of twelve stories by the author of "The Stepparian Wolf" in which Hesse's experiences are mixed with his personal vision of the world, culture, art, society. Some distil the typical lyrism of their novels, others enclose a unique irony, in others it overflies a certain magic, in some it refers to myths of the past, in others it travels to remote lands.
