Strange News from Another Star by Hermann Hesse
5.0
Hesse never disappoints.
This collection concerns living and looking closely.
Strange News From Another Star explores human conventions we all too often take for granted by introducing the perspective of a stranger.
Be it someone that witnesses, death, war, love or spirituality, the 'folk tales' elegantly crafted in this short story collection are sure to please young and old alike.
They are stories that will be understood by their readers in a myriad of different ways, largely depending on their age.
They are deceptively simple but comment on all those things that make living, interacting with others and loving, worthwhile.
A palette cleanser for anyone whose preoccupation with recent politics may be leaving them down and out or flat out cynical.
