With its blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, Hesse's
best-known and most autobiographical work is one of literature's most
poetic evocations of the soul's journey to liberation.**
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
Madmen Only!
Originally published in English in 1929, *Steppenwolf'*s wisdom
continues to speak to our souls and marks it as a classic of modern
literature.
