Description & Specifications

In a medieval monastery, two young men form a friendship despite their completely different characters: One, the teacher, is the monk Narcissus, who is fulfilled by isolation and spiritual life. The other, his beloved student, is Chrysostom, who feels imprisoned in the monastery and leaves to explore the world and love. Chrysostom will live the life of a wandering artist, experiencing disappointments and dangers, but also ecstasy. When he reunites with Narcissus, their differences—between flesh and spirit, art and intellect, emotion and logic—will be even more pronounced. But the love that binds them is greater than anything else.

The inseparable relationship between the Apollonian and the Dionysian, as well as the irresistible power of friendship, and at the same time the medieval life and traditions of Germany in one of the most captivating novels ever written by Hesse.
