Hesse Hermann
Summary
Hermann Hesse: The Glass Bead Game
A novel by a Swiss Nobel laureate whose action takes place in the imagined utopian country of Castalia, somewhere in Europe, approximately in the twenty-third century.
In that ideal human community lives a group of privileged persons, members of a secular Order dedicated to meditating on the creations of intellectual and aesthetic culture.
The storyteller follows the life story and inner development of the director of that community of spiritual elite, Josef Knecht, teacher of the Game, Magister ludi Josephus III., a man who managed to submit to the universal and perfect himself in the service of the superpersonal. Bringing him into a dialogue with other characters, but also to an internal conflict with himself, Hesse contrasts different attitudes towards the life principles of vita contemplativa and vita activa, and discusses the meaningfulness and justification of such an ideal utopian existence reduced to contemplation.
