The Secret Rose

When Corto Maltese accompanies his old friend Professor Steiner to pay a visit to the writer Hermann Hesse, he becomes immersed in a shifting, dreamlike adventure involving the quest for the Holy Grail, the Devil, the Sandman, and Death, as well as the knight Klingsor (a character from the epic poem Parzifal, Wagner’s opera Parsifal, and a novel by Hesse).
