At first sight Harry Haller seems like a respectable, educated man.
In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society
and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of
dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters – accompanied by, among
others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione – the misanthropic
Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This
haunting portrayal of a man who feels he is half-human and half-wolf
became a counterculture classic for a disaffected generation. Yet it is
also a story of redemption, and an intricately-structured modernist
masterpiece. This is the first new translation of Steppenwolf for over eighty years, returning to the fresh, authentic language of Hesse’s original.
