Demian by Hermann Hesse Book Review

Book Review and Discussion of Hermann Hesse's Demian. Yes I only read it because of BTS, but honestly they covered the concepts more thoroughly than I thought! If you're interested here are links to their related content.

It sounds like a thought-provoking book. Thanks for the glimpse into it!

I read this when I was 16, always felt like it changed the course of my life. I always thought a modernized movie adaption could be amazing, if done right. The exposure to Gnosticism really opened my eyes to how diverse and someties dark our most sacred beliefs can be, almost like my discoveries were mirroring the protagonist of the story. By 17 I was trying to read Nietzsche and listening to Marilyn Manson, lol. But it really did spark an awakening. Man, I wish I could feel even half as alive as I did back then...

Did not expect Demian and bts being mentioned in the same sentence but I’m ready to go down that rabbit hole.

Did you ever read Siddhartha? The concept is very similar but the storyline is a little more developed, if you like Demian you would enjoy it

Demian an Sinclere are just one of Hesse caracter wich Hese promote in all of his books spiritual awakening is tematic wich Hese represent budist will say how the get eligthened be free from eny concept atachment idea and folow inside individual fredom original light . So I think you percive this books in not higher level misundastanding take place in your mind just because Hese never think in terminologie od gay bisexal lezbian this whose so far from Hese mind no interest zone . In eny of his book one of caracter get elightened same like Buda in India or Sidarta and Vasudeva in his book Sidarta. hese never acept kolective energie like conzesus abut eny thinks if he stay alive last 5 years in world he will never folow 89% people wich take vacine cover mask and folow order like he represent in war time how people easy folow order but not him. He like to be him pure self no identification with eny idea like Buda teach
