About this listen
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.

A beautiful tale beautifully told.
An epic tale that tastefully, deeply and provocatively deals with so many concepts that are still so relevant to the human experience almost a century later. Thoroughly enjoyed this exploration of spirituality, sensuality, and life itself. Highly recommend it to anyone who also struggles at the boundary of the material and spiritual worlds

Enchanting
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It was not what I expected. A really beautiful story about the journey of a youth drinking from the cup of life as he travels medieval Europe. thoroughly engrossing.
What does Simon Vance bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Simon is a fantastic narrator with a smooth voice and a great accent which carries well while listening in a vehicle or relaxing. He brought the book and the characters to life.
