Query: Magisterial

A magisterial work of art (excuse the pun)! A synthesis of profound philosophy, captivating storytelling and that distinctive smattering of sublime moments particular to the greatest of novels. In masterful fashion, Hesse achieves a seemingly impossible balancing trick of, on the one hand, invoking the game as a metaphor for the sum of human experience and knowledge yet, on the other hand, never allowing the reader to directly encounter it's practice. Would that it were so that one were fortunate enough to have the time to re-read this book many times over.
