Sinopse

From Nobel Prize winner Herman Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund tells the story of an unlikely friendship, a long journey, and the return of a free spirit.

Narcissus is a brilliantly intelligent novice, a rational and reserved man. Goldmund is a handsome young student with deep existential concerns. The two meet in a convent and are almost magnetically drawn to each other.

In this work, Hesse explores the religious rapture and ecstasy of artistic creation through the ascetic and minimalist life of Narcissus, contrasting with Goldmund's bohemian and passionate life. The polarity of the dialogues between the two characters, one solar and the other lunar, offers a profound lesson in tolerance and acceptance, despite their opposition. The mutual enrichment that results from these dialogues holds a lesson that is still relevant for a world divided between diverse fundamentalisms.

In Narcissus and Goldmund , the protagonists are fundamentally different, as in other works by the author, such as Demian and Siddhartha . With his genius, Hermann Hesse shows us that opposites are merely parts of the illusion of the game of life, images and projections that lead human beings in search of a synthesis that merges opposites in the ineffable light of the spirit.
