Publisher's Synopsis
In addition to publishing such unforgettable novels as Siddbartba or The Steppe Wolf, Hermann Hesse throughout his life cultivated the genre of the short story in its most diverse variants, and always with an acuity and sensitivity that is difficult to find a term of comparison. Marvelous Tales 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.
