A GAME BOARD: Das Notizenspiel is usually played on a big piece of paper (or several smaller pieces of paper taped together) on top of a large table.
Das Notizenspiel (plural: Der Notizenspielen) is a simplified variant of The Glass Bead Game, a hypothetical culmination of all human knowledge described by Hermann Hesse in his 1943 novel Das Glasperlenspiel (usually translated as Magister Ludi; The Glass Bead Game).
Das Notizenspiel does not pretend to be the final word toward this probably insoluable goal, but a modest and hopefully playable simplification.

 HipBone: Approximating Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game
The issue is one of Hesse's irony, and the way in which he pictures Castalia as a province that is out of touch with the world around it, and the Game as an effete substitute for the arts.
Within the ironic fabric of Hesse's text, the Glasperlenspiel is presented both as something wonderful, and as a sterile "escape" from reality.
Were it not the first, we should hardly be able to admire Knecht in his rise to the office of Magister Ludi as we do, and were it not the second, we could hardly follow him out of office, out of Castalia and into his sacrificial death by drowning...

 Stationen Maulbronn
Hesse enters the seminary at the age of fourteen.
Like Hans Giebenrath in the story Unterm Rad and Josef Knecht in Das Glasperlenspiel, he lives in the "Stube" and "Hellas" house.
As well as featuring in Unterm Rad, Maulbronn also appears as "Mariabronn" in Narziss und Goldmund, and as "Waldzell" in Das Glasperlenspiel, Hesse having used the literary genre as a vent for his experiences at the monastery seminary.

 Hermann Hesse
Das Glasperlenspiel (1943), Hesse's utopian magnum opus and response to the barbarism of fascism, which has recently found cult-status on the Internet.
N.B. Das Glasperlenspiel contains a number of Hesse's poems, which will be studied in their own right.
Students will explore the extensive secondary literature [mostly in BL Main 1 German M-26 HES], but emphasis will be placed on a close reading of the texts.

 Bodenheimer Gallery - Reliquary: Glass Bead Game
The Nobel Prize for Literature that Hermann Hesse won in 1947 was due in a great part to his last novel, published in 1943: Das Glasperlenspiel [The Glass Bead Game].
So perhaps in fifty years, we'll look back on the last years of this millenium and not see the end of art and creativity, but see instead see the seeds of a new Humanism, a new Renaissance.

 Terence MacNamee Glass Bead Game   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
*Das Glasperlenspiel* was the last of his books I got around to reading.
In *Das Glasperlenspiel*, Hesse also mentions the ludus sollemnis, the annual public game attended by members of the fraternity.
Again the description is tantalising, but I take it that the ludus sollemnis was presented as a kind of liturgy.

 Some ironic passages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Die geistige Bewegung, deren Fruechte unter vielen anderen die Einrichtung des Ordens und das Glasperlenspiel sind, hat ihre Anfaenge in einer Geschichtsperiode, welche seit den grundlegenden Untersuchungen des Literarhistorikers Plinius Ziegenhalss den von ihm gepraegten Namen "Das feuilletonistische Zeitalter" traegt.
Solche Namen sind huebsch, aber gefaehrlich, und verlocken stets dazu, irgendeinen Zustand des Menschenlebens in der Vergangenheit ungerecht zu betrachten, und so ist denn auch das "feuilletonistische" Zeitalter keineswegs etwa geistlos, ja nicht einmal arm an Geist gewesen.
The spiritual movement whose fruits include, among many other things, the establishment of the order and the Glass Bead Game, had its origins in a historical period which, ever since the literary historian Pliny Ziegenhalss did the fundamental research, has borne the name he coined, "The age of journalists".
