Hermann Hesse's Magister Ludi (Previously published as the Glass Bead Game) by Hermann Hesse. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780553055559.

This is Hesses last and greatest work, which won him the Nobel Prize for Literature. Described as "sublime" by Thomas Mann, admired by André Gide and T.S. Eliot, it is considered one of the important novels of this century. Originally published in German as Das Glasperlenspiel and recently published in a new translation as The Glass Bead Game, it is better known in English as MAGISTER LUDI. This new translation is as majestic and contemporary as its content. The award-winning translators, Richard and Clara Winston, have captured Hermann Hesse, the author of Steppenwolf and Demian, at the height of his creative and prophetic powers, and this book is the key to a full understanding of his thought.
