The Glass Bead Game

Hermann Hesse · Fretz & Wasmuth Verlag, Zurich · 1943

The 1949 Savill 'Magister Ludi' (London Aldus issue and the imported-sheets US Holt issue) and the 1969 Winston 'The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi)' are distinct: the 1969 is a new translation ('first edition thus'), not a reprint of 1949. Do not treat the US Holt 1949 as the true first English — it is printed on London sheets and postdates/derives from the London edition.
