The Glass Bead Game (German: Das Glasperlenspiel) 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. A few years
later, in 1946, Hesse went on to win the Nobel Prize
in Literature. In honoring him in its Award Ceremony Speech, the Swedish Academy said that the novel "occupies a
special position" in Hesse's work.
