New York Times: "Although it is written in a noble, lofty and lucid style (and ably translated), ['Steppenwolf'] may strike the average reader as too 'European,' too mystical and possibly too shocking in its brutal honesty. 'Steppenwolf' will most likely remain fare for the knowing few." |

The novel that influenced a whole generation. Steppenwolf is one of the greatest novels of the 1946 Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse (1877-1962). It analyzes in a deep approach the subject of the antagonism amid the two natures of an individual, in this case Harry Haller, a man disappointed with life who alternates between what is considered the kind nature of human being with the ferocity that characterizes a savage wolf. The mysticism and fantasy of the book, besides the concepts originating from it, influenced the way of thinking and behaving of youngsters of the fifties, which perceived themselves reflected in Hallers's dual personality. |
