A powerful new translation of Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse's
masterpiece of youthful rebellion--with a foreword and cover art by
James Franco A Penguin Classic A young man awakens to selfhood and
to a world of possibilities beyond the conventions of his
upbringing in Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse's beloved novel
Demian. Emil Sinclair is a quiet boy drawn into a forbidden yet
seductive realm of petty crime and defiance. His guide is his
precocious, mysterious classmate Max Demian, who provokes in Emil a
search for self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. A brilliant

translation, which together with James Franco's personal and
inspiring foreword will bring a new generation to Hesse's widely
influential coming-of-age novel. For more than seventy years,
