Demian is a coming-of-age story that follows a young boy's
maturation as he grapples with good and evil, lightness and
darkness, and forges alternatives to the ever-present corruption
and suffering that he sees all around him. Crucial to this
development are his relationships with a series of older mentors,
of who the titular Demian is the most charismatic, otherworldly and
ultimately influential. Many have noted the influence of Jungian
psychology upon this novel and it is fascinating to see Herman
Hesse's interests in the self, existence and free will play out
through through the lens of early twentieth-century Europe;
Christian imagery and themes are ever-present, as is the shadow of
the First World War.
