(P/B) DEMIAN

Παρουσίαση

Published shortly after the First World War, Demian is considered to be one of Hermann Hesse's finest novels.
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 him out of his ordinary home-life and convince him of an existing alternative world of corruption and evil. He progressing from an orthodox education through to philosophical mysticism, Emil's search for self-awareness culminates in a meeting with Demian's mother - symbol and personification of motherhood.
