Description
First published in 1919, it is a brilliant journey of the psyche written by one of Germany's most influential writers and thinkers—Herman Hesse. A young man awakens to selfhood and to a world of possibilities beyond the conventions of his upbringing. Emil Sinclair is a quiet boy drawn into a forbidden yet seductive realm of petty crime and defiance. His guide is his precocious, mysterious classmate Max Demian, who provokes in Emil a search for self-discovery and spiritual fulfilment. Demian is a classic coming-of-age story that continues to inspire generations of readers in its exploration of good and evil, morality and self-discovery.
