NotesDas Glasperlenspiel (English: The Glass Bead Game) is the last full-length novel of the German author Hermann Hesse. It was begun in 1931 and published in Switzerland in 1943 after being rejected for publication in Germany due to Hesse's anti-Fascist views. The book has also been published under the title Magister Ludi, Latin for "Master of the Game", which is an honorific title awarded to the book's central character.
