Steppenwolf: A Novel

(Picador Modern Classics)

 By
Hermann Hesse
Holt Paperbacks
 Harry Haller is a sad and lonely figure, a reclusive intellectual for
whom life holds no joy. He struggles to reconcile the wild primeval
wolf and the rational man within himself without surrendering to the
bourgeois values he despises. His life changes dramatically when he
meets a woman who is his opposite, the carefree and elusive
Hermine. The tale of the Steppenwolf culminates in the surreal
Magic Theater—for mad men only.

Steppenwolf is Hesse's best-known and most autobiographical work.

With its blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, it is one of
literature's most poetic evocations of the soul's journey to liberation.
Originally published in English in 1929, the novel's wisdom
continues to speak to our souls and marks it as a classic of modern
literature.
