Scritto neI 1917 e pubblicato nel 1919, "Demian" è la storia di un ragazzo combattuto fra due mondi, quello bello e pulito del bene e quello terribile, enigmatico eppur allettante del male. Protagonista è il giovane EmiI Sinclair, caduto sotto l'influsso di un cattivo compagno di scuola, Franz Kromer, che lo spinge a ingannare i genitori, rubare e discendere la china del peccato. Sarà un altro compagno, Max Demian, che sembra vivere fuori del tempo o uscire da un passato senza età, ad attrarre Sinclair e a liberarlo dal nefasto influsso di Kromer, guidandolo verso una concezione della vita straordinariamente complessa e misteriosa.

It starts a little boring because Sinclair really is boring af, but things seemed to appear interesting when the boy who gives name to the book, Demian, shows up. He guides him to the funny path away from all that boring life he...

2.0 Demian
I was prepared to crucify this short and tedious work as a kind of Celestine Prophecy for a far dumber age, until I saw that it was written at a time of high stress by a recently converted Jungian. At any rate, none of my friends rated it well either, so excoriating it no longer seems quite so neces...
