About this ebook
Demian is generally considered to be Hermann Hesse's finest novel. This classic is a landmark in literature, a standout among traditional stories of the journey to the self. This fresh new translation faithfully reproduces the lively style and impact of Hesse's original writing.
The work is autobiographical, and as Hal Hager has observed, "In Demian, published under the pseudonym of its protagonist and narrator, Emil Sinclair, Hesse succeeded for the first time in bringing together in a coherent fashion his main concerns and beliefs."
It is a cure for nihilism, Facebook, and self-despair.
About the author
The author, Hermann Hesse, a poet and novelist, is known for his stark explorations of the individual's spiritual search and the striving for a life of virtue, justice and understanding within the restrictions of society. Several of Hesse's novels are centered on the protagonist's journey into the inner self, with a spiritual guide who assists the hero in his quest for self-knowledge and shows the way beyond the world "deluded by money, number and time." He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.<; Thomas Wayne is an English Professor at Florida SouthWestern State College in Fort Myers. He has published several poetic translations with Algora, including classics by Nietzsche, Hermann Hesse and Goethe, faithfully reproducing the verve and eloquence of the original writings.
