'One of his masterpieces . . . without doubt a great novel'
Guardian One of Hermann Hesse's greatest novels, Narcissus and
Goldmund is an extraordinary recreation of the Middle Ages,
contrasting the careers of two friends, one of whom shuns life in a
monastery and goes on the road, tangled in the extremes of life in
a world dominated by sin, plague and war, the other staying in the
monastery and struggling, with equal difficulty, to lead a life of
spiritual denial. An superb feat of imagination, Narcissus and
Goldmund can only be compared to such films set in medieval Europe
as Bergman's The Seventh Seal and Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev. It is
a gripping, profound reading experience - as startling, in its
different way, as Hesse's Siddhartha and Steppenwolf.
