BTS 'Blood Sweat and Tears' and 'Wings' album was based on Demian and so I had to read it for theory purpose and I'm really glad I did.

Read this book because of BTS. The book and BTS's Wings serie side by side lead to a more profound understanding of youth psychology development. It was an interesting read, and thanks to BTS for introducing this book to me

I read the comments and want to add, that I too, was lead to read the book due to the influence of BTS!

love this book, im from bts wings xD i read it in german

Hesse had a brilliant mind...!! was big in the 60's and 70's counterculture; sadly, kind of forgotten, today.

There seems to be some confusion as to who is real, fictional, imaginary? Keep in mind most of Hesse’s novels are somewhat autobiographical as the characters face the same moral and emotional challenges the world and Hesse himself was facing. The idea of Jungian archetypes and the shadow self were just emerging and I believe Demian was representative of this archetype of the higher, transcendent self. Hesse wrestled with the concepts of and the very real aspects of good and evil, the sacred and the profane, our quest for morality and immortality. His work is timeless and ultimately transcendent

I felt that in the writing of the character as a child that Hesse expressed the awkward way it feels to be an adolescent and how easy it is to get manipulated by others who have learnt how to control others , probably coming from abusive backgrounds . Demian was the kind of friend who changes the pathway for the better .

Stop interrupting yourself

Alas, if you are not German and/or are very proficient in the language and can read and appreciate the wonderful language of Hesse, you are missing out on the best part, I'm afraid.

Demian, overrated book. Only a few have the luck to know the real masterpiece of Hesse.

“I wanted only to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult? “

I have never got obsessed with a novel more than Demian

I read this book as a troubled young teenager and it changed my life.

Thanks for these reviews brother! Lovin' it!

Great chat as always! Eurasia also sounds so interesting, it's amazing how much of our culture is shared and how it evolved as we migrated around the planet. It sounds like this book will cover lots of those details ^.^
