Demian by Hermann Hesse
"Demian" by Hermann Hesse is a bildungsroman first published in 1919. Young Emil Sinclair lives trapped between two worlds: a comfortable middle-class illusion and a darker spiritual reality. When he meets the enigmatic Demian, everything changes. Demian radically reinterprets biblical stories and challenges conventional morality, shaking Sinclair's worldview to its core. Through encounters with mentors and symbolic figures, Sinclair embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery, confronting duality, spirituality, and the ultimate
question of how to forge his own path. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
