Demian -- Hermann Hesse

<p><strong>"Hesse is a writer whose peculiar vision is worth inspecting. His world is shadowy and close to areas of the heart that will probably never see light. But his vision is a rare one, as commendable for its humane solicitude as for its strangeness and unearthly color." -- <em>National Review</em></strong></p><p><strong>An acclaimed, influential, and visionary novel from Hermann Hesse, one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. </strong></p><p><em>Demian</em> tells the dramatic story of Emil Sinclair. Docile and unquestioning, Emil follows a precious schoolmate--the charismatic Max Demian--on a shocking decent into a secret and dangerous world of petty crime and revolt against convention. And it is there in the shadows that a formerly complacent and uncomplicated young man achieves a miraculous awakening to adulthood.</p><p>The novel includes an introduction by Thomas Mann.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Hermann Hesse<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 09/08/2009<br><b>Pages:</b> 176<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.30lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780060931919<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Ingram Advance</i> 07/01/1999 pg. 49
