Este libro excepcional reúne la novela corta que le otorga su título y otros seis relatos más, de los que todos menos uno pertenecen a la etapa de plena madurez del autor.

Regarded by many as the most luminous example of Mark Twain's work, this fictional biography of Joan of Arc was purportedly written by Joan's page and secretary — Sieur Louis de Conté. (Twain's alter ego even shared the author's same initials — S. L. C.) Told from the viewpoint of this lifelong friend, the historical novel is a panorama of stirring scenes and marvel of pageantry — from Joan's early childhood in Domremy and her touching story of the voices, to the fight for Orleans, the taking of Tourelles and Jargeau, and the splendid march to Rheims.

Each story offers a glimpse into Woolf’s keen observations of human emotion: from the ghostly reflections in "A Haunted House" to the fleeting impressions and fragmented lives in "Monday or Tuesday", where the ordinary becomes quietly extraordinary.

Un'arte di matrice orientale, cara in particolare agli artisti, che proprio nelle pause creative trovano gli stimoli per un nuovo fervore, ma che Hesse considera essenziale per chiunque voglia impedire alla razionalità di prendere il sopravvento sulla spontaneità. La contemplazione, l'autocritica, lo sviluppo della propria individualità sono i temi dominanti dei testi qui raccolti per la prima volta in volume e disposti in ordine cronologico di scrittura (se inediti) o di pubblicazione su quotidiani e riviste.

La visione "lirico-cosmica" di Hesse non è il rigurgito romantico di un'anima bella quanto ignara dei problemi del mondo, bensì il nucleo di un'avveniristica scienza dell'uomo che salda un vincolo indissolubile tra ecologia ed estetica. Il tema dell'arte come suprema ecologia è rappresentato in questo volume da brani narrativi e versi in cui lo scrittore riproduce splendidi colloqui tra poeta e natura.
