"Narcissus and Goldmund "is the story of a passionate yet uneasy friendship between two men of opposite character. Narcissus, an ascetic instructor at a cloister school, has devoted himself solely to scholarly and spiritual pursuits. One of his students is the sensual, restless Goldmund, who is immediately drawn to his teacher's fierce intellect and sense of discipline. When Narcissus persuades the young student that he is not meant for a life of self-denial, Goldmund sets off in pursuit of aesthetic and physical pleasures, a path that leads him to a final, unexpected reunion with Narcissus.… (mais)
Narciso y Goldmundo, sin duda un libro fundamental de la literatura y el pensamiento contemporáneos en el que Hermann Hesse llega al punto culminante de su obra, narra la historia de dos personajes que encarnan los aspectos esenciales -aparentemente opuestos- de la personalidad humana: el racional y en instintivo, lo consciente y lo emotivo, la ciencia y el arte.
This may be my favorite Hesse novel, although its impact on me was not as strong as that of Steppenwolf. The conflict between the artist and the spiritual man spoke to me, the truths uttered are well-balanced between the two. Can also be read as expressing two sides of one personality that struggle to be integrated without fully succeeding. ( )
Am I over Hermann Hesse? The psychoanalysis overkill was a bit much to stomach this time around. Were Demian, Siddhartha, and Steppenwolf all like this? I used to adore Hesse, and Narcissus and Goldmund wasn't terrible (though I guessed the ending despite my dislike for doing such a thing), but I'm rethinking the remaining Hesse books taking up a good, weighty chunk of my bookshelf. Ho hum. ( )
Immensely sad and touching, a story about love, the kind of love few of us know, the brotherly love that is born rather than formed and grown. It also speaks about the importance of art versus mind, how neither is rather superior than the other, but that they are equal and even complement each other. ( )

Isolated here in the North, planted long ago by a Roman pilgrim, a chestnut grew, strong and solitary, by the colonnade of rounded double arches at the entrance to the cloister of Mariabronn: a noble, vigorous tree, the sweep of its foliage drooping tenderly, facing the winds in bold and quiet assurance; so tardy in spring that when all glowed green around it and event the cloister nut trees wore their russet, it awaited the shortest nights to thrust forth, through little tufts of leaves, the dim exotic rays of its blossom, and in October, after wine and harvests had long been gathered, let drop the prickly fruits from its yellowing crown; fruits which did not ripen every year, for which the cloister schoolboys fought one another, and which Gregory, the Italian sub-prior, burned amid the logs of his fireplace.
Outside the entrance of the Mariabronn cloister, whose rounded arch rested on slim double columns, a chestnut tree stood close to the road. [Molinaro translation]

... thoughts of Goldmund whilst with the wood sculptor, Master Nicholas ... 'Narziss had been his friend: yet strangely it had beeen this learned Narziss who had shown him his inaptitude for learning and had conjured up a beloved mother-image in his mind. So that, instead of learning, virtue and monasticism, the stongest primal urge in his nature, had mastered him - lechery and carnal love, the longing to depend on none, and to wander. Then came Master Nicholas' sorrowful Virgin, to reveal to him an artist in himself, with a new way of life, and fetters again. How were things with him now? Where would life carry him in the end? Whence came these obstacles in his mind?'
Had dat allemaal zin, was het op deze manier de moeite waard om te leven? Hij kreeg het benauwd om het hart, van minachting voor hemzelf en een besef van zinloosheid. (blz 272 bij 40e druk)
Je mag bedroefd zijn, zolang je daar behoefte aan hebt. Bij mij moet je bedroefd of opgewekt kunnen zijn, je moet nooit iets anders doen, dan waar je zin in hebt. (blz 283, 14e hfst. 40e druk)
