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.

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.

While the longer stories were great, the shorter ones sacrificed story for moral or meaning, which would be acceptable a couple of times, if they weren't the same 4 or 5 morals on repeat. The shorter ones got really old, really fast.
