From these later texts a rich, complex theory of educational transformation emerges. From West to East and Back Again examines the role of dialogue and uncertainty in the transformative process, considers utopian and ritualistic elements in Hesse's work, and explores the notion of education serving as a bridge between life and death. Hesse's novels address philosophical themes and questions of enduring significance, and this book will appeal to all who share an interest in human striving and growth."
