Hermann Hesse's shimmering late collection brings together three luminous novellas exploring art, aging, and the intoxication of summer's final days. In the title piece, a fading c omposer confronts mortality while beauty blazes around him. Hesse's prose is like golden light filtered through leaves—warm, philosophical, and utterly transporting. Perfect for readers who savour lyrical, contemplative fiction that lingers in the mind long after the final page. Show more
