leerlo con mi obsesión con bts fue increíble, la forma me encanta y los símbolos más que la narración realmente, probablemente lo vuelva a leer, me identifico con demian en muchos puntos sobretodo los iniciales

*To anyone wondering - I read this on a free pdf file available with a quick google search*
Whoa.
This book was a huge journey. I only wished I had read it during my adolescent years, but nonetheless, I'm glad I read it in my 20's. I think anyone could find themselves as Sinclair and read the story as their own.
I will disclose that I came upon this book because of BTS, and I'm glad I did! Not only did it make BTS's story make more sense, but I also discovered a book that resonated deep with me.
I don't usually read philosophical books, and this was my first Hesse novel, and because it was written nearly a whole century ago, I feared I won't be able to relate to it. I was wrong. Demian is a novel that will forever be relevant, I feel, since it speaks about the deeper sense and experience of growing up and maturing in a way that we all go through, to some extent.
I have the mark, as do many of my friends, and only now I'm able to recognize it. Now I know why I attract certain people, unknowingly.
This book explained to me a lot of things I went through and am still experiencing and made life seem a little less terrifying, like I wasn't alone in all of this. Hermann Hesse understood my story because his was the same. He gave words to things I thought were unreachable.
I recommend this book! Don't be alarmed by the fact it was written so long ago, or because it touches philosophical discussions. It is a story everyone can relate to. You might even meet yourself within its pages.
*I'd also like to mention that I found a lot of sexual undertones in Sinclair's treatment of Demian, though Hesse attempted to dull them out - maybe because of the time it was published? Throughout this novel I felt Sinclair was deeply in love with Demian; Eva's storyline just an extension and an excuse for his sexual and mental attraction to her son. What do you think about this?

"Quem quiser nascer tem de destruir um mundo"
Que leitura fenomenal! Eu não esperava ser tão tomado por um livro a essa altura do ano, quase no final e com o cansaço do semestre acumulado. Mas este livro me fisgou muito bem. Eu ouvi falar dele quando fiz um trabalho sobre a música Lie de BTS, mas só comecei a ler de fato quando uma amiga insistiu muito comigo e me mostrou umas passagens que eu fiquei pensando muito de que precisaria ler o livro. Comecei e li nos momentos que cabiam no dia, ainda mais nesse período de trabalhos. É um livro que aborda dualidades e questões que muito me interessam: a dualidade entre um mundo interior e exterior, entre luz e escuridão. Uma necessidade de busca de si mesmo ao mesmo tempo que um desejo de aceitação coletiva. É um livro que me marcou bastante e que estaria na categoria de livros a (re)ler sempre.
