Attorno a quel nucleo originario si è andata poi formando questa raccolta di pensieri che, con oltre mille citazioni, documenta lo sguardo sempre originale di Hesse sui temi più svariati, dalla politica alla letteratura, dal ruolo dell'individuo nella società alla felicità.

Wilde's story is narrated by a friend of a man called Erskine, who is preoccupied by the Hughes theory.

Graham tried to find such evidence but failed; instead, he fakes a portrait of Hughes in which Hughes is depicted with his hand on a book on which can be seen the dedication from the sonnets.
