Synopsis
The classic coming-of age novel by the celebrated German author and Nobel Laureate. It tells the story of Arthur Sinclair, a young German from a wealthy family. Arthur is a constant target of bullying and abuse at school, until he makes the acquaintance of Max Demian, a mysterious new boy. Demian is at once sensitive and overpowering, and he fascinates Arthur long after they are separated. Many years later they are reunited at the university.

Publisher's Note
One of the great writers of the twentieth century tells the dramatic story of a young man's awakening to selfhood. "An Existentialist intensity and a depth of understanding rare in contemporary fiction."--Saturday Review

Industry reviews
"The last half of the book suffers a sea change into something rich and strange--too rich and too strange for what has gone before. Symbolic dreams and painting, cryptic messages and meetings, transcendental relationships, culminating in a cult of self and of 'Fate,' replace the solution through rational experience that the earlier development seemed to promise. The luminosity of the story grows vaporish with only spasmodic flashes of the earlier intensity and light."
New York Times Book Review - A.S. Morris (02/01/1948)

"The electrifying influence exercised on a whole generation just after the first World War by 'Demian'...is unforgettable. With uncanny accuracy this poetic work struck the nerve of the times and called forth grateful rapture from a whole youthful generation who believed that an interpreter of their innermost life had risen from their own midst--whereas it was a man already forty-two years old who gave them what they sought."
"Introduction to Hermann Hesse's 'Demian'" - Thomas Mann (01/01/1948)

"'Demian' is certainly one of the most significant works of Hesse and should be available in any good American public or college library."
Library Journal - F. Hirsch (12/01/1947)

"Hesse is a writer whose particular 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."
National Review - Guy Davenport (11/16/1965)

"A reissue of an unusual book first published in Germany before World War I this is beautifully done, and illustrates Hesse at his best."
Kuskin 

"When all the reservations have been made, Demian stands as a classic document of the revolt against the unreflected life. Despite the fanciful touches, Hesse is not a traditional teller of tales but a novelist of ideas and a moralist of a high order."
Davenport
