The Glass Bead Game

In the remote Kingdom of Castalia, the scholars of the Twenty Third century play the Glass Bead Game. The elaborately coded game is a fusion of all human knowledge - of maths, music, philosophy, science, and art. Intrigued as a school boy, Joseph Knecht becomes consumed with mastering the game as an adult.

In indepartatul Regat Castalia, savantii secolului al XXIII-lea joaca Jocul Margelelor de Sticla. Jocul elaborat, codificat, este o fuziune a tuturor cunostintelor umane - de matematica, muzica, filozofie, stiinta si arta.
