Book Description:
Steppenwolf is Hermann Hesse’s intense and introspective novel about a man divided between two natures — the civilized and the primal. Harry Haller, a reclusive intellectual plagued by alienation and despair, sees himself as a “steppenwolf,” a lone wolf at odds with bourgeois society. As he spirals deeper into existential crisis, he encounters a mysterious woman who introduces him to a surreal world of pleasure, art, and self-discovery.
Blending psychological depth with mystical symbolism, Steppenwolf is both a personal confession and a philosophical journey — a powerful exploration of inner conflict, transformation, and the possibility of transcending the boundaries of the self. Bold, haunting, and visionary, it remains one of Hesse’s most enduring and influential works.
