I know that my brother has some of the Hesse novels in English and they're all in the same format by the same publishing house, I believe with the same translator.
The image of the mother, the primeval mother (Urmutter) that Goldmund sees in his imagination, is a very conflicted one. It really reminds me of the Hindu Kali - it is at once loving and at the same time destructive.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

You should totally read more Tolkien! He was the last "real" author.
