Book Description
"I cannot read Hermann Hesse without feeling that I am drawn into the presence of a deeply serious mind, a mind that is searching for the meaning of life." - Carl Jung A new 2023 translation of Hesse's opus magnum The Glass Bead Game. This edition also contains an epilogue by the translator, a philosophical glossary of concepts used by Hesse and a chronology of his life and work. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. He also received the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt in 1946 and the 1955 Peace Prize of the German Booksellers. "The Glass Bead Game: An attempt at a biography of Magister Ludi Josef Knecht, including Knecht's writings", is the last and most extensive novel by Hermann Hesse, first published in two volumes in 1943. It is by far his longest novel. Sometimes it is translated in English as "Magister Ludi" or sometimes merely "The Glass Bead Game" (original German "Glasperlenspiel"). As Hesse's opus magnum and final philosophic treatise it offers his exploration of his philosophical musings and existential concerns. A focal point in understanding this narrative is discerning the roles of the characters Pater Jakobus and Tegularius, who, as suggested, represent transparent disguises for the renowned thinkers Jacob Burckhardt and Friedrich Nietzsche. The futuristic narrative's center, Josef Knecht, undergoes a journey of self-discovery and intellectual growth, the central theme of all of Hesse's works. The fictional narrator's assertion that Tegularius played as pivotal a role in Knecht's life as did Designori and Pater in Marienfels provides readers with insight into the two primary forces shaping Knecht's worldview. These forces represent the contrasting perspectives of Burckhardt and Nietzsche, who in Hesse's eyes were pivotal in forming his own philosophical leanings. Pater Jakobus embodies the measured, historical perspective reminiscent of Burckhardt's approach, while Tegularius, with his unrestrained brilliance and unpredictable nature, mirrors Nietzsche's radical philosophical approach. Designori's character acts as a conduit through which the historical and institutional views of Burckhardt are channeled. By presenting Designori as a "practical man of the world," Hesse emphasizes the grounded, real-world applications of Burckhardt's historical teachings. Consequently, the narrative becomes a reflection of the ongoing tussle between two fundamental philosophical standpoints: Burckhardt's grounded historical perspective and Nietzsche's radical, avant-garde approach. Both are presented not as contradictory but as complementary forces guiding Knecht's (and by extension, Hesse's) evolving worldview. By personifying the ideologies of Burckhardt and Nietzsche through the characters of Pater Jakobus and Tegularius, Hesse creates a vibrant tapestry of thought, reflection, and intellectual growth.

Book Description
The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4A: Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 1 Knuth’s multivolume analysis of algorithms is widely recognized as the definitive description of classical computer science. The first three volumes of this work have long comprised a unique and invaluable resource in programming theory and practice. Scientists have marveled at the beauty and elegance of Knuth’s analysis, while practicing programmers have successfully applied his “cookbook” solutions to their day-to-day problems. The level of these first three volumes has remained so high, and they have displayed so wide and deep a familiarity with the art of computer programming, that a sufficient “review” of future volumes could almost be: “Knuth, Volume n has been published.” –Data Processing Digest Knuth, Volume n has been published, where n = 4A. In this long-awaited new volume, the old master turns his attention to some of his favorite topics in broadword computation and combinatorial generation (exhaustively listing fundamental combinatorial objects, such as permutations, partitions, and trees), as well as his more recent interests, such as binary decision diagrams. The hallmark qualities that distinguish his previous volumes are manifest here anew: detailed coverage of the basics, illustrated with well-chosen examples; occasional forays into more esoteric topics and problems at the frontiers of research; impeccable writing peppered with occasional bits of humor; extensive collections of exercises, all with solutions or helpful hints; a careful attention to history; implementations of many of the algorithms in his classic step-by-step form. There is an amazing amount of information on each page. Knuth has obviously thought long and hard about which topics and results are most central and important, and then, what are the most intuitive and succinct ways of presenting that material. Since the areas that he covers in this volume have exploded since he first envisioned writing about them, it is wonderful how he has managed to provide such thorough treatment in so few pages. –Frank Ruskey, Department of Computer Science, University of Victoria The book is Volume 4A, because Volume 4 has itself become a multivolume undertaking. Combinatorial searching is a rich and important topic, and Knuth has too much to say about it that is new, interesting, and useful to fit into a single volume, or two, or maybe even three. This book alone includes approximately 1500 exercises, with answers for self-study, plus hundreds of useful facts that cannot be found in any other publication. Volume 4A surely belongs beside the first three volumes of this classic work in every serious programmer’s library. Finally, after a wait of more than thirty-five years, the first part of Volume 4 is at last ready for publication. Check out the boxed set that brings together Volumes 1 - 4A in one elegant case, and offers the purchaser a $50 discount off the price of buying the four volumes individually.
