Synopsis
From the Nobel Prize winning author of Siddhartha, Steppenwolf and The Glass Bead Game.
Narcissus is a teacher at Mariabronn, a monastery in medieval Germany, and Goldmund his favourite pupil. While Narcissus remains detached from the world in prayer and meditation, Goldmund runs away from the monstery in pursuit of love. Thereafter he lives a picaresque wanderer’s life, his amatory adventures resulting in pain as well as ecstasy. His eventual reunion with Narcissus brings into focus the diversity between artist and thinker, Dionysian and Apollonian. Full of philosophical insight, Narcissus and Goldmund is not only vintage Hesse, it is widely considered one of his best novels.
