English language
Published Nov. 20, 2000 by Wiley & Sons, Incorporated, John.
A young man awakens to selfhood and to a world of possibilities beyond the conventions of his upbringing in Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse’s beloved novel Demian. 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 fulfillment. A brilliant psychological portrait, Demian is given new life in this translation, which together with James Franco’s personal and inspiring foreword will bring a new generation to Hesse’s widely influential coming-of-age novel.
Es un libro doblemente provechoso si en la vida te has cruzado a Frau Eva y te lo ha recomendado.
I read this book slowly. It was still not slow enough. There were so many things I missed and so many things to think about. I wish I would have read this earlier. I can relate to parts of this book, other parts are so filled with spiritual nonsense that it feels artificial and absurd.
