A review by wyleus
Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse
4.0
4 ☆ — this was the spiritual awakening i didn't know i needed.
i wanted to start reading something from hesse for a long time (i began siddartha one year ago but dropped it since i didn't feel like i could enjoy it at its max) and i believe this was THE perfect moment to read narcissus and goldmund. tbh the middle part bored me a little, but the monologues, the close contact between death and love, how their relationship evolved and the way until the last part of the book i believe it was narcissus who had changed goldmund, but at the end both of them were irremediably changed by one another. all of this was amazing
