Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Hesse is not a traditional teller of tales but a novelist of ideas and a moralist of a high order...The autobiographical undercurrent gives Demian an Existentialist intensity and a depth of understanding that are rare in contemporary fiction.' --Saturday Review

'Beautifully written, it has a seriousness as compelling as as that of The Waste Land . . . the work of a major writer.' --Observer

'One can neither date nor doubt the sincerity of the hero s search for satisfaction or the quality of the spirit that lies behind it.' --Times Literary Supplement

Reseña del editor:

Originally published under a pseudonym shortly after the First World War, a novel of embracing duality Emil Sinclair boasts of a theft that he has not committed and subsequently finds himself blackmailed by a bully. He turns to Max Demian, in whom he finds a friend and spiritual mentor. This strangely self-possessed figure is able to lure Emil out of his ordinary home-life and convince him of an existing alternative world of corruption and evil. Progressing from an orthodox education through to philosophical mysticism, Emil's search for self-awareness culminates in a meeting with Demian's mother--the symbol and personification of motherhood.
