Blurb: “Hermann Hesse has become since his death in 1962 one of the most widely read European novelists of this century. His mystical vision proved prophetic of the questing spirit of the psychedelic generation, to whom he became a revered figure.

In Demian he chronicles with clear-sighted humanity the growth to maturity of Emil Sinclair, who falls under the influence of Max Demian, a strangely self-possessed figure.

As Sinclair progresses through orthodox education and philosophical mysticism towards self-awareness, he always has the image of Demian before him-right up to the climactic moment of confrontation with destiny on a blood-drenched battlefield.”
