نرسيس وغولدموندNarcissus and Goldmund

Translated to Arabic, 'Narcissus and Goldmund', a novel by Nobel laureate Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962). An interesting novel about a friendship!

"Narcissus and Goldmund tells the story of two medieval men whose characters are diametrically opposite: Narcissus, an ascetic monk firm in his religious commitment, and Goldmund, a romantic youth hungry for knowledge and worldly experience. First published in 1930, the novel remains a moving and pointed exploration of the conflict between the life of the spirit and the life of the flesh. It is a theme that transcends all time.'
