Demian

Demian is a classic coming-of-age story that continues to inspire generations of readers in its exploration of good and evil morality and self-discovery. The main character of this classic novel Emil Sinclair is a young boy raised in a bourgeois home. Emil's entire existence can be summarized as a struggle between two worlds—the show world of illusion and the real world the world of spiritual truth. According to Hesse the novel is a story of Jungian individuation the process of opening up to one's unconsciousness.
