That story, \u003cem\u003ePictor’s Metamorphoses\u003c\/em\u003e, is the centerpiece of this anthology of Hesse’s luminous short fiction. Based on The Arabian Nights and the work of the Brothers Grimm, the nineteen stories collected here represent a half century of Hesse's short writings. They display the full range of Hesse’s lifetime fascination with fantasy—as dream, fairy tale, satire, or allegory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e240 pages\u003cbr\u003ePicador Publishing, 2003\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1922\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780312422646\u003cbr\u003eShort Stories, Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":544222725,"sku":"9780312422646","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Hesse_Pictor_s_Metamorphoses.jpg?v=1634918648","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/pictor-s-metamorphoses-and-other-fantasies-by-hermann-hesse","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
