A review by booklover_bev
Klingsor's Last Summer by Hermann Hesse

5.0

Hesse returns to his theme of the tormented artist in this wonderful story. This is so beautifully written that the whole tale feels like being inside a painting - Hesse describes the scenery in minute detail, from the sounds, the smells, the rich colours, the heat. It is an intensely visual book, describing the pictures that Klingsor paints as well as the world he inhabits.
This is definitely one of my favourite Hesse books.
