Hesse's novel of two medieval men, one quietly content with his
religion and monastic life, the other in fervent search of more
worldly salvation. This conflict between flesh and spirit, between
emotional and contemplative man, was a life study for Hesse. It is
a theme that transcends all time. The Hesse Phenomenon "has turned
into a vogue, the vogue into a torrent. . .He has appealed both to.
. . an underground and to an establishment. . .and to the
disenchanted young sharing his contempt for our industrial
civilization."--"The New York Times Book Review"
