Емил е мега тъпо име.
Добре, че му викат Синклер.
Тва не го прави по-малко тъп обаче.
Който си мисли, че тва е книга с reliable narrator, който си знае нещата, постига си целите и всичко, което му се случва го усеща по правилния начин (отвъд може би за самия си него) - да прочете пак.
Тва е книга за тъпотията на идеалиста, за тежестта на мелодрамата, за лъжата и за тва колко е трудно да се прави омлет когато птицата е жива и излиза от шибаното яйце да го еба къде ми е жълтъка.
Също гей фантазии.

Really awesome for Emil Sinclair to give detailed sweaty recounts of Demian. Love that for him, great book.

An existential journey a bit overly abstract but fascinating and troubling.

my fav book for a reason <3 a lot of people ask me for recommendations on classics and i cannot stress enough demian by hesse. if you like the little prince you will like this too. it seems kinda intimidating but i promise this is one of the more interesting and easier classics to get into
