Harry Haller is a sad and lonely figure, a reclusive intellectual for whom life holds no joy. He strugles 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!!!
Steppenwolf is Hesse's best-known and most Autobiographical work. With its blend of eastern mysticism and western culture, it is one of liturature's most poetic evocations of the soul's journey to liberation.
