Hesse Revival and Klingsor in Three Novellas
A critical look at Hermann Hesse’s Klingsor's Last Summer and related works as a 1960s revival phenomenon. The piece notes mass youth appeal, reader reception, and the book's three novellas, especially Klein and the painter Klingsor, with Hesse’s philosophy and personal stance explored. It argues the works blend fantasy and philosophy, with Hesse as central, alive figure.

New Collins In ternational Library Adds Five Titles
Maurice Dunlevy reviews five new Collins volumes in the International Library. Water by Pierre Rondiere and Energy and Power by Albert Hinkelbein compare with Time-Life works, while Polar Deserts and The Mysterious World of Caves show strong author involvement. Conservation of Nature by Eric Duffey, however, feels too broad for its short format.
