Singapore Dream and Other Adventures

I happened to notice this book while browsing the Shambala catalog. A lifelong Hesse fan and a former expat resident of Singapore, the title interested me. It turned out to be especially relevant to a book I'm writing. The slim volume is mostly essays written about a voyage Hesse took to Asia in 1911, with stops in India, Ceylon, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaya. (It also includes some related poetry and one short story about an English missionary in India.) This is fine travel writing from an earlier era, and vintage Hesse.
