It's worth reading about Hesse and his interest in Jungian Psychiatry (and also read up on Jungian Archetype) to understand this book further. In essence, the book is a journey of the inner self through all parts of its conscious, subconscious and unconscious. The writing is most skillful. Mark of a well written book is when you are able to absorb each stage of the character's arc naturally and in the flow of the plot instead of the author having to spell it out or make obvious distinction to where we are at will the character.
I was also excited to connect this with how BTS (a korean music band I grew up listening to) used Demaian and Jungian philosophy to inform themes of a few of their earlier albums.
