Sinopse

Commemorative edition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the book's release in Brazil. Demian is a psychological masterpiece of modern literature that explores the duality of human nature and the alienation of the human soul. A powerful story of self-discovery that inspires thousands of readers worldwide. Emil Sinclair is a young man tormented by the lack of answers to his questions about the world. Upon meeting Max Demian, a precocious and charismatic classmate, Sinclair rebels against the conventions of his time and embarks on a journey of discovery. Originally published in 1919, this classic, considered a watershed moment in the career of Hermann Hesse, reflects the German writer's questions about humanity, with its contradictions and dualities. Influenced by the ideas of Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, Hesse describes the individual's search for inner fulfillment and self-knowledge. Besides being a turning point in Hermann's career, Demian is also a work that, "with frightening precision, struck a chord with the times, drawing an entire youth into a grateful enchantment"—as defined in a 1947 essay by none other than Thomas Mann, the greatest monument of 20th-century German literature and winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize. Thus, this "novel of education" (Erziehungsroman), of "formation" (Bildungsroman), is constructed along a path that leads the narrator to his own self-discovery. It is not simple. “Nothing is more repugnant to man than to follow the path that leads to himself!”, the protagonist emphasizes. After Demian, Hermann’s style asserts itself in books such as Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927) and The Glass Bead Game (1943).
