Siddhartha, Demian, and Other Writings: Hermann Hesse (German Library)

Great book! I read this in my university class and I absolutely loved it! I will definitely be re-reading it!

The condition is ok.

I feel that the novel Demian was a highly intellectual novel and very enlightening! It's like no other book I've read in which it's not your usual story of a boy growing up. It's about a boy growing up and questioning his faith with the help of a boy named Demian who is a classmate. Emil, the main character feels that Demian is the image in which he wants to be. He fantisizes about this image and will do anything to be it. Demian helps Emil to break from his contious mind and enter his subconcious. It is a wonderful book and I highly recommend in to any philosophy fans, or anybody at all.

Without giving away too much, Siddhartha is one of those stories that can have a profound impact on your outlook on life. What is more important in life? What should you spend your effort on? In the end, what really matters? Nobody can answer those questions for you, but maybe following Siddhartha on his adventure can give you a little more insight into what is truly important.
