Demian

Ten-year-old Latin student Emil Sinclair realizes early on that there is a harsh and cruel world outside the safe family environment. The young man, on the way to finding himself, leaves his father's home along with the stereotypes he can no longer believe in, such as religion and morality. In his life nourished by little lies and theft, the healthy child sees his world collapsing. The person who will save him from this pain is another new student at the school: Max Demian. Demian becomes the pressure that directs and affects Sinclair's life. The people he meets and gets to know are milestones on Sinclair's path to finding himself and his true self. Demian has something different from Hermann Hesse's other novels: Demian, a youth and student novel, fully reflects the author's fears and problems of that period. In addition to Hesse's professional problems, his personal problems also add up: His father's death, his youngest son Martin's contraction of a dangerous disease, and his wife's increasingly serious mental disorder, which forces him to receive treatment in hospitals. This period of Hesse, filled with pain, led to great changes in his life. He could only cope with his mental breakdown with the help of a doctor. The fruit of this troubled period was Demian. He sent his novel, which he finished in a few months, to the publishing house under the name Emil Sinclair, but said that he supported this young but sick Swiss writer. He revealed his real identity in later editions of the book.
