Query: Excellent Story, Abhorrent Translation

I have no doubt that Hermann Hesse would find this translation of his masterpiece insulting. The book is replete with grammatical errors, spelling errors, incorrect words, syntax errors, and various other anomalies that expose the amateurishness of the translator, remiss of the editor, and failure of the publisher. Read reviews and find a different version, but read the story nonetheless.
