Book synopsis

A powerful new translation of Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse s masterpiece of youthful rebellion with a foreword and cover art by James Franco A young man awakens to selfhood and to a world of possibilities beyond the conventions of his upbringing in Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse s beloved novel Demian. Emil Sinclair is a quiet boy drawn into a forbidden yet seductive realm of petty crime and defiance. His guide is his precocious, mysterious classmate Max Demian, who provokes in Emil a search for self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. A brilliant psychological portrait, Demian is given new life in this translation, which together with James Franco s personal and inspiring foreword will bring a new generation to Hesse s widely influential coming-of-age novel.
