World War I changed all that. Hesse protested publicly against the Kaiser's policies, suffered an emotional breakdown, was cured by a pupil of Switzerland's Carl Jung, and in 1919 published Demian, the story of a young man's struggle for identity that electrified a generation looking for a way out of moral and political disaster...
