Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse

Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse

Narcissus is a young monk of formidable intellect who will spend his life inside the monastery. Goldmund is his student, and Narcissus tells him — kindly, and correctly — that he does not belong there.

So Goldmund leaves, and spends decades wandering medieval Germany through plague, women, violence and eventually sculpture, while Narcissus stays and becomes abbot. Hesse sets thinker against artist, ascetic against sensualist, and refuses to declare a winner. The plague chapters are among the strongest things he wrote.

By the Nobel laureate, and the novel many readers prefer to Siddhartha.
