خواهان تجربه کردن یه حس منحصر به فرد هستین؟
دمیان منتظر شماست.
نمیشه گفت برای معرفی دمیان، دقیقا از کجاش میشه شروع کرد، اما اگه بخوایم طبق روال پشت جلد پیش بریم، دمیان سرگذشت دوران کودکی و نوجوانی شخص نویسنده کتابه که توی داستان تحت الشعاع پسری به نام امیل سینکلر میگرده. پسری که توی یه خانواده مذهبی به دنیا اومده و با همون سن کم، قادر به تشخیص دو تا دنیایی هست که اطرافش جریان داره.
دنیای تاریک و دنیای روشن.
قرار نیست راجع به این دو دنیا اطلاعات زیادی در اختیارتون قرار بدم چون لطفش به اینه هربار که با امیل همراه میشین دنیاهای پیش روش رو همراه با داستانش کشف و تجربه کنین.
پی نوشت:
برای معرفی دمیان، وقتی کتاب رو تموم کرده بودم اومدم اینجا و یه متن بلند بالا نوشتم. و اونقدر از احساساتم موقع خوندنش گفته بودم که دیگه داشت به مبالغه در ابراز هیجانات درونیم تبدیل میشد. اما نمیدونم چرا و چطوری، پست آماده شده ی من، ناگهانی از وبلاگ پرید و من توی اون لحظه عصبانی ترین بودم. حالا بعد از چند روز، نه میتونم متن سابقم رو عینا به خاطر بیارم و نه فکرم برای نوشتن متن جدید، سرجمع میشه. دمیان و تمام شوقی که از خوندنش داشتم انگار توی صندوق قلبم زندانی شدن و حالا کلیدش دست هیچکس نیست.
پی نوشت دوم:
از دمیان فقط همین رو میتونم بگم که همه ما، میتونیم امیل سینکلرهای زمان خودمون باشیم.
می تونیم ماکس دمیان درونمون رو پیدا کنیم.
و می تونیم با افتخار دوست و راهنمای خودمون باشیم.
honestly feel as if i should’ve let myself process a little more before writing this review, but here we are.
first things first, i really enjoyed hesse’s prose and imagery, and just his overall way of articulating things. he was able to make minute, mundane activities and objects seem so much more purposeful and it shines a sort of gratitude to everyday life.
the way that this novel discusses religion is very interesting to me. it shows both the importance of having a belief system, but acknowledges that there is no “right” religion or belief. hesse depicts the impact of religion on individuals and on society, as well as the pressure it can have on an individual when their personal beliefs do not align with those of the supposed majority or their behaviours. another relevant and important aspect that he bought up in regard to religion, is that many people will blame their faults or bigotted views on their religion in order to justify it, when it is no excuse.
lastly, the relationship between sinclair and eva was kind of icky to me. the novel could’ve been a five if that wasn’t a thing, and the whole freudian ‘dude-wants-to-screw-his-mother-and-milfs’ vibe. very much threw me off.

I MAY HAVE JUST READ MY MOST FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME. My heart is so full. I still can’t fathom enough how a book that has been written more than a hundred years ago could resonate with my thoughts and feelings this much. Wow. This is only the start of my adoration towards Hesse’s works.

I enjoyed Siddharta very much. This is quite a different type of book. I feel as though it is one that a person could read at 16, at 36, at 72 get new and different understanding each time.
