Demian: the Wandering Boyhood (100th Anniversary Collector's Edition)

About This Novel

"Demian" is one of Hesse's masterpieces. It uses a lyrical style and delicate writing to describe the young Sinclair's journey of pursuing himself, firmly becoming himself, and exploring his own destiny. This psychological novel can be said to be Hesse's iconic and monumental masterpiece. Sinclair, who was born and grew up in the "light world", accidentally discovered a completely different "another world". The chaos and darkness there made him anxious and confused, and he fell into the disaster caused by lies. At this time, a young man named Demian appeared and took him out of the swamp. From then on, he began his lonely journey to find himself. In the years that followed, "Demian" appeared in different identities and became his guide every time he was searching alone and making difficult decisions. German literary master Thomas Mann commented: "This is a work that hits the nerves of the times with its extremely accurate description. A whole generation of young people are convinced that a spokesperson comes from the depths of their lives, and they are grateful and fascinated by him. Everyone's life is a journey to self, an attempt on a road, a quiet call of a trail. ." Speaking of Hesse, Paulo Coelho said: "Herman Hesse has already felt the inner turmoil of our generation, the inherent need to find his own way in youth; this need makes each of us demand what is naturally ours: our own life. This kind of prophetic vision will surely inspire people in the future."
