<p><b>''One of his masterpieces . . . without doubt a great novel'' <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>One of Hermann Hesse''s greatest novels, <i>Narcissus and Goldmund </i>is an extraordinary recreation of the Middle Ages, contrasting the careers of two friends, one of whom shuns life in a monastery and goes on the road, tangled in the extremes of life in a world dominated by sin, plague and war, the other staying in the monastery and struggling, with equal difficulty, to lead a life of spiritual denial.<br><br>An superb feat of imagination, <i>Narcissus and Goldmund </i>can only be compared to such films set in medieval Europe as Bergman''s <i>The Seventh Seal </i>and Tarkovsky''s <i>Andrei Rublev</i>. It is a gripping, profound reading experience - as startling, in its different way, as Hesse''s <i>Siddhartha </i>and <i>Steppenwolf</i>.</p>
