«Demian / La leyenda del rey indio» is an edition bringing together two narrative works by Hermann Hesse, published by Zig-Zag in paperback (150 pages, in Spanish).
In Demian, Emil Sinclair leaves behind the bright, protected world of his childhood after a lie, and meets Max Demian, an enigmatic character who questions his ideas and shows him the need to think for himself. In La leyenda del rey indio, a monarch of ancient India becomes obsessed with the search for truth and the meaning of existence.
The volume is part of Zig-Zag's Viento Joven collection; Demian was originally published in 1919.
The selection of the Viento Joven collection and the protagonist's learning make this volume a gateway to the work of Hermann Hesse.
Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-Swiss poet and novelist, and winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize in Literature. His interest in Eastern religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions, combined with his involvement with Jungian analysis, helped shape his literary work. His best-known novels include Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality.
