Bachofen's concepts of hetaerism, conjugal matriarchy, and patri- archy and upon basic theories of C.G. Jung. It enhances the under- standing of the central theme: quest for self-fulfillment and reverence for the conjugal mother world. The author shows that Hesse, in this novel as in several earlier works, rejects the limitations of an illusionary and fictitious father world symbolized by Castalia and accepts Bachofen's principle of an all-encompassing conjugal world of the mother, which corresponds to the Jungian concept of the integration of the self, as the most perfect stage of human development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund Remys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820400297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820400297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Edmund Remys","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241109434623,"sku":"9780820400297","price":38.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34abb8a7-a862-4336-8113-d2806a55fee2.jpg?v=1772652772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hermann-hesses-das-glasperlenspiel-edmund-remys-9780820400297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
