The Bildungsroman was Hesse's leitmotiv, so if you haven't read Siddhartha, Steppenwolf, Narcissus and Goldmund, or the Glass Bead Game, I'd start there.
In the German authors that did the coming of age stories, I think the best of them all is The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, however.
And these
Thanks.
Also, any recommendations that deal with the master/student dynamic?

A literary form can't be called a leitmotif. Stop using words you don't understand, brianlet. Also Siddhartha is shit.

Which out of those got at the beyond good and evil abraxas nuance to coming of age?

Tough call between Joyce and Lawrence as to who was edgier....
I think I have to go with Joyce but it’s close.

what is the phonetic pronunciation of 'demian' in Deutsch ?
>A literary form can't be called a leitmotif
considering I'm using a german word, here is a definition for you
duden.de
>häufig wiederkehrendes charakteristisches Motiv mit fester Zuordnung zu einer bestimmten (auftretenden oder vorgestellten) Person, Situation, Stimmung usw.
If you need to use google translate for that, congratulations, you're the brianlet here
>siddhartha is shit
this Veeky Forums meme needs to die, Hesse's prose is great- the story is derivative, but as far as a light, easy read, it's great.

i'm to much of a brainlet
do you know the IPA
pls no bully
goethe's sorrows of young werther is a seminal novel in that category.
>considering I'm using a german word
Die Semantik und Konnotation von "Leitmotiv" sind genau gleich im Deutschen und Englischen, du pseudointellektueller Fickfehler. Motiv ist ein inhaltlicher Bestandsteil von literarischen Werken, Genrezugehörigkeit ist deren allgemeine Charakteristik. Das ist auch von Duden explizit mit Beispielen für Oligophrenen wie du erklärt. Du muss es nur noch eigentlich lesen und wahrnehmen anstatt deine geistige Behinderung durch Grüntext aufzeigen.

The "i" in Demian is probably the near-close near-front unrounded vowel...
>contradicting yourself this hard
Hirnlein RAUS
What? I specified it because the symbol of the near-close near-front unrounded vowel was changed to "J" upon posting.
