Hesse's novel of two medieval men, one silently quite happy with his religious beliefs and monastic life, the other in fervent search of more worldly salvation. This turmoil between flesh and spirit, between emotional and contemplative man, was a life research for Hesse. It is a theme that transcends all time. The Hesse Happening "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 commercial civilization."--The New York Times Booklet Review
