Summary
Schoolboy Emil Sinclair boasts of a theft and finds himself blackmailed by a bully. He turns to Max Demian in whom he finds a friend and mentor. Under this strangely self-possessed figure's guidance Emil discovers a new world of corruption and evil. A brilliant psychological portrait of a troubled young man's quest for self-awareness, this coming-of-age novel achieved instant critical and popular acclaim upon its 1919 publication.
