Product details

"Narcissus and Goldmund" by Hermann Hesse is a philosophical and poetic novel set in medieval Germany, exploring the lives and contrasting personalities of two main characters, Narcissus and Goldmund. Narcissus is a disciplined, intellectual monk and teacher in a Catholic monastery, representing the life of the mind, logic, and spirituality. Goldmund, on the other hand, is a passionate, sensuous wanderer who leaves the monastery to explore life outside, indulging in love, art, and the physical world.

The novel traces Goldmund’s journey through love affairs, artistic discovery, the struggles of life, and encounters with death and violence, contrasting with Narcissus's contemplative, orderly life dedicated to faith and reason. Despite their divergent paths, the two men have a deep and complex friendship, embodying the tension between intellect and emotion, spirit and flesh.
