Demian es un libro corto con una profundidad y conceptos muy interesantes, no pretendo hablar de su trama así que me limitare a decir que es un libro fácil de leer en un principio aunque después requiere algo de tiempo para entenderse.

En definitiva es un libro que me alegra de haber podido leer, la historia es interesante pero mucho mas lo son los personajes y la interacción entre ellos, simplemente me ha resultado fascinante.

Besar kemungkinan aku keliru menginterpretasi buku ini karena terlanjur fokus sama homoerotic subtext antara Sinclair dan Demian. Lucu juga sih bacanya jadi nggak serius-serius amat wkwk

Текст однозначно особенный, но сказать, что он мне понравился, я не могу. Автор сосредоточился на переживаниях героя и совсем забыл о событийной составляющей истории.

This is one of those books that you need to put down after reading ten pages because it makes you think too much. It makes you feel empathic with a main character who you have nothing in common with, yet you understand the inner struggle he goes through, which we all go through in our teenage years: understanding who we are, what we're meant to do, who we're supposed to connect with. I read it after my teenage years and I'm still going through the same thing, but this book made me understand that we're not supposed to know the answers to these questions when we're young, or even ever. All that matters is working towards understand ourselves through our own work, instead of attempting to make sense of the ever-changing society around us.
