... * * I think the German title is "Der Shaecher"; the heading of a chapter, with which I heartily disagree, in Demian by Hermann Hesse, not a whole book title.

... sure would show that he improved a lot in writing Steppenwolf. Without having read many of Hesse's, I'm convinced that Demian was his worst.

... bottle, 1 shortbread cookie in the shape of a cowboy hat, 1 giraffe pen and the best part: 1984, Wuthering Heights, Demian, This is Your Brain on Music and Go, Dog, Go. Not bad for a $50 donation to the library. Most of the other celebrities chose Clive Cussler and the like. Guess I ...

... en 1940, quand poursuivi par la Gestapo, ayant perdu sa bibliothèque, il se suicidera à la frontière espagnole... 27. Demian de Hermann Hesse Un roman symboliste et psychanalytique, dont l'action est entièrement tournée vers les crises intimes du narrateur. L'arrière-plan sociétal, ...

I just ordered The Daily Show Presents: America, A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Demian The Divine Comedy: Paradise Dragons of the Autumn Twilight

... the works of Hermann Hesse, his Steppenwolf, was quite cultish in the sixties. As was, and is, to a lesser degree his Demian and Siddharta. But none of Hesse’s books gives as good a picture of German culture as the two former writers

... the third time this thread that I'm calling uncle, but it's been over three months and I have had no motivation to pick up Demian, let alone read it. My TBR pile's getting purged this weekend, and that's one of the ones that's going - I'm not sure how it even ended up on my bookcase in the ...

... it but I've heard it's not one of Esse's best and quite different from the rest. You might wanna try Siddharta, or even Demian, which I quite enjoyed. I'll probably get to Atwood only in April, as I seem to be reading slower than usual lately. Yeah and I hate it when that happens (LT crashes) ...

... K. Chesterton Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury Fight Club or almost anything by Chuck Palaniuk Demian by Hermann Hesse There's a very wide range of stuff here but all of it great, philosophical, and to varying degrees non realistic. I could list tons more but...

... Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire 03) Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer 02) All About Lulu by Jonathan Evison 01) Demian by Hermann Hesse ... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Tons of good ones this year.

... My review is here. fyrefly98, why not review Demian by Hermann Hesse - I've read much of his stuff, but not that one. Please pick something not tagged "read" for obvious reasons, whoever comes next!

41) Demian by Hermann Hesse ***** An enlightening examination of duality and individual transformation that everyone should read. Those who do not wholly identify with Sinclair will still be absorbed by the great story and beautiful language. Those who do identify with Sinclair however, ...

Finished The Flowers of Evil this afternoon and decided to pick up where I left off in Hesse's Demian.

105. Demian by Hermann Hesse The first time I've found Hesse to disappoint :(

Emil Sinclair from Demian by Hermann Hesse

... and Eliot, although I was underwhelmed by Oliver Twist and Kim. Ran into a few "interesting" reads: Against Nature, Demian and The Satanic Verses that kept me bemused if not necessarily amused. Perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood last month. 1t. Blindness by José Saramago ...

Demian by Hermann Hesse?

Doubled my Victorian category. OC: The Moonstone, Kim, Demian, Rhetoric

... get this in class. I found it and read it secretly in the library and it shoved me into my love of all things Jazz Age. Demian - Picked it up at the school library when I was 15. Totally didn't get the Jungian references at the time, but the experience stayed with me. Galilee - Another ...

Am in an unnamed town in Germany (possibly Calw) with Hermann Hesse's Demian.

3) Demian by Hermann Hesse. Quite possibly has usurped T.H. White's The Once and Future King as my favorite book ever. It blew my mind wide open in a way I can't adequately describe. (finished this a week ago, just forgot to post about it).

... It almost makes me want to read The DaVinci Code just for a remedy... (slaps self back to senses) Next up is Demian by Hermann Hesse after my finals. I can't wait.

... sense of dread when I see the title; and b) I want to read again because I can't remember what I hated so much about it. Demian is another one, though I suspect I'd find more to appreciate about it now.

... particular order: All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury Demian by Hermann Hesse The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster Moonshadow by J.M. DeMatteis The Rachel Papers by Martin Amis The Sound of Waves by Yuk ...

20. Demian by Herman Hesse (157p). Struggled with this one - thought a short novel would help flesh out my numbers, now that we're far past the half-way mark in the year. Still, if I can average a book and a bit each week until Christmas I should still make it to 50.

... library and found a yellow hardbound Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kastner translated in our vernacular as Ni Emil ken dagiti detectib. As a child, it was hard reading it translated as we were thought English in school. I watched the film adaptation luckily.

... some to know that two of those books came to my attention via anime. Revolutionary Girl Utena is largely drawn from Demian, and Hideaki Anno has said that he drew much inspiration for Neon Genesis Evangelion from Childhood's End.

got Hesse's Demian and a book of Rilke's poetry. Need to finish up A Wild Sheep Chase first though. Self-control...argh.

... reading list, so I can pick the big (or more likely, small) ones at the end of the month to keep me on track. I'm reading Demian now, so you can guess that I'm not exactly confident at making the 15!

... I believe that The Glass Bead Game was written by Hermann Hesse. Yes. Is it like his other novels? I could not read Demian or Siddartha. Where am I?: I'm in two different states of the US. One is Nebraska. I don't even know where that is. Must find atlas and location of other book. So ...
