Hermann Hesse - Steppenwolf

 Hermann Hesse - Steppenwolf


undefined


Absolutely loved it. I'd put it off for years, but finally got around to it. Just brilliant.

I'd say to was about alienation until finally finding his fellow tribe


Steppenwolf (originally Der Steppenwolf) is the tenth novel by German-Swiss author Hermann Hesse.

Originally published in Germany in 1927, it was first translated into English in 1929. The novel was named after the German name for the steppe wolf. The story in large part reflects a profound crisis in Hesse's spiritual world during the 1920s.

Steppenwolf was wildly popular and has been a perpetual success across the decades, but Hesse later asserted that the book was largely misunderstood.[1]
