Brother Narcissus, a monk at the Mariabronn cloister is the epitome of the analytical intellectual; his student, the young Goldmund, is the total opposite, an individual with the soul of an artist and a lover, born to live life to the fullest, yet fighting his desires due to paternal forces.
It is Narcissus who recognizes Goldmund as "a dreamer with the soul of a child," and urges him to leave the cloister and pursue the life he was meant to lead.
Goldmund lives out his life as a wanderer, a lover and an artist, only returning to Mariabronn and Narcissus when it is time for him to die.

 The Labyrinth of Friendship:
Narcissus and Goldmund, the issue of difference and distance establishes the setting—both within the abbey and in the world—drives the plot, and constitutes the characters; more it helps to explain a recurrent question in the secondary literature on Hesse about the manner in which the novel ends.
Narcissus and Goldmund: something like history demands this paragraph, an extended mediation on the type of space which is conducive to the nurturing of human plurality.
Narcissus and Goldmund is not whether it is an ‘accurate’ historical novel, not whether Hesse did his ‘homework’ well (and he did by all accounts make an effort to understand the medieval cloister), but rather whether it would be possible to advance the project of freedom in the early Twentieth Century.

 Summary of Hermann Hesse's book
Narcissus is the ascetic, the thinker, who does not tolerate love to come into his life, even though he loves Goldmund deeply.
Goldmund, lonely as he is now, goes tramping again, goes from girlfriend to girlfriend, until he can't stand it anymore and finds a place to stay in a cloister.
Narcissus admits: "I don't want to talk about the moral issue, but pure thinking (which to exercise and teach is my duty) practically requires a certain protection from the world." Goldmund never enjoyed this protection, which is why Narcissus admires him.

I think that the novels are often split down this line to put you in to deep thought or wonder in aww at how beautiful his writing is. I feel Steppinwolf is one of those were you are pulled in to a deep meditation on Hesses conjured up ideas and his philosiphy.
