Publisher's Summary
Here is the dramatic story of young, docile Emil Sinclair's descent - led by precocious schoolmate Max Demian - into a secret and dangerous world of petty crime and revolt against convention and eventual awakening to selfhood. A brilliant psychological portrait of a troubled young man's quest for self-awareness, this coming-of-age novel achieved instant critical and popular acclaim upon its 1919 publication. A landmark in the history of 20th-century literature, it reflects the author's preoccupation with the duality of human nature and the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment.

An interesting read, with a very spiritual theme
Demian is an enjoyable book. It is heavy on the spiritual and religious imagery and themes though (if you are not a fan of either of those, you might want to steer clear). At times I felt the book would meander a little, but there were parts that gripped my attention and fascinated me.
It's definitely not for everyone, but it is good to experience nonetheless. The reader is also very good and conveys the story with plenty of emotion and sound articulation.
