What is Pictor's Metamorphoses : and Other Fantasies about?
<p>In the spring of 1922, several months after completing <i>Siddhartha</i>, Hermann Hesse wrote a fairy tale that was also a love story, inspired by the woman who was to become his second wife. That story, <i>Pictor's Metamorphoses</i>, is the centerpiece of this anthology of Hesse's luminous short fiction. Based on <i>The Arabian Nights</i> and the work of the Brothers Grimm, the nineteen stories collected here represent a half century of Hesse's short writings. They display the full range of Hesse's lifetime fascination with fantasy--as dream, fairy tale, satire, or allegory.</p>
