### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Far more than a coming of age story... A must read.
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 June 2020*

This masterpiece by Herman Hesse is far more than just a coming of age story. In a broad sense, it is a book dealing with the collapsing era of Christianity which preceded the first world war, developing ideas on Nietzsche, Mysticism and the fascination with war, destruction and a New Way. One is left with a sense of grief at the conclusion of this short but powerful story, for it posits so much hope for the future, for new ideas and new paths. However, as we all know, what followed was an even greater war, further confusion and absurdity... Hitler, Stalin, Mao.

    Handle with care!
  

*by Y***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 April 2017*

Hesse inverts the meaning of several bible stories as he turns morality on its head in his diabolical vision of a Nietzschean world.Demian is Hesse's demonic hero, who's rejection and contempt for Christian morality is portrayed uncritically as something to be admired. Gradually his lessons in evil corrupt his young friend, and - one presumes - Hesse's readers, if they are not wary.This is a very good book, but also a dangerous one. It bears some of the intellectual seeds of the madness that overtook the world in the first half of the twentieth century. Handle with care.

*by E***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 July 2019*

I bought this book because it was recommended by a friend, and I was more than a little shocked when I finished it in less than a day.Not sure if it was the lowkey romance between the two characters, or the intriguing ideas presented in it, or the conciseness of the plot that made me feel most happy after I read it, however I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about mental wellbeing. The way it's written is extraordinarily beautiful and elegant.And as for the physical book's quality: it's okay. My hands were stained blue after I read it, though that's probably because I held it too often lolAnyways read it!! It's good.
