LEGGENDE E FIABE | II EDIZ. 1983 | HERMANN HESSE

This Italian edition presents Leggende e fiabe, a compelling compilation of legends and fairy tales by Hermann Hesse, translated into Italian by Francesco Saba Sardi and introduced by Italo Alighiero Chiusano. First released by Mondadori in two volumes—Fiabe and Leggende—in 1981, the second edition appeared in 1983, set within the Oscar narrativa series. The collection spans Hesse’s creations from 1903 to 1932, blending mythic, symbolic landscapes—from desert hermits to Renaissance humanists—with lyrical, poetic narration and subtle satirical touches on modern life and spiritual themes.
