100% had to read one of these in high school.
Hesse's bleak view of the combination of war/money/technology works itself into the later stories, and I appreciated that. He really is a kindred spirit.

The first story, "Iris," and the last story, "Augustus," are worth reading, but feel free to skip the rest.

It is very hard to rate story collections. Some I loved and found very enriching but some others were rather questionable.

Always hard to rate a collection, probably averages to a 4 but boy were there some 5's.
