Beschreibung

Hailed by The New York Times as “his greatest novel,” this is Hermann Hesse’s masterpiece of morality, freedom, love, and the struggles of being human.

Narcissus and Goldmund tells the story of two medieval men with an unlikely friendship. Narcissus, a monk, is quietly content with his religion and simple life. Goldmund, a restless student, is in fervent search of more worldly salvation.

Encouraged by Narcissus to reconnect with himself and his past, Goldmund sets off on a physical and spiritual journey that leads him to a dangerous love affair; a harrowing encounter with the horrors of the Black Death; and the realization that, above all else, he wants to create art. Eventually, Goldmund returns to the monastery and Narcissus—not as a monk, but as an artist.

This conflict between flesh and spirit, between emotional and contemplative man, was a life study for Hermann Hesse. It is a theme that transcends all time.

Über den Autor

Hermann Hesse was born in 1877 in Calw, Germany. He was the son and grandson of Protestant missionaries and was educated in religious schools until the age of thirteen, when he dropped out of school. At age eighteen he moved to Basel, Switzerland, to work as a bookseller and lived in Switzerland for most of his life. His early novels included Peter Camenzind (1904), Beneath the Wheel (1906), Gertrud (1910), and Rosshalde (1914). During this period Hesse married and had three sons. During World War I Hesse worked to supply German prisoners of war with reading materials and expressed his pacifist leanings in anti-war tracts and novels. Hesse's lifelong battles with depression drew him to study Freud during this period and, later, to undergo analysis with Jung. His first major literary success was the novel Demian (1919). When Hesse's first marriage ended, he moved to Montagnola, Switzerland, where he created his best-known works: Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930), Journey to the East (1932), and The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. He died in 1962 at the age of eighty-five.
