Sinopse

Pocket edition of the classic work by Hermann Hesse, Nobel Prize-winning author for Literature.

In Steppenwolf , Harry Haller is a 50-year-old man who believes that his integrity depends on the solitary life he leads amidst the words of Goethe and the scores of Mozart; an intellectual trying to balance himself on the edge of the abyss of social and individual problems, before which his personality becomes increasingly ambivalent and, finally, shattered.

The first part of Steppenwolf deals with Haller the Wolf's nightmare, his depression, and his inability to communicate, which is the basis of his cruelty and self-destruction. In the second part, the wolf becomes humanized through the arrival of Hermínia, who tries to bring him closer to the world—in this case, a simple community of dusty dance halls and shabby bars.

“A celebrated novel about what can afflict the human soul and also a cruel critique of bourgeois society.” - The New York Times

“ Steppenwolf is as brilliant as Joyce's Ulysses .” - Thomas Mann

"The story of Steppenwolf is undoubtedly one of suffering and hardship, yet it is not the book of a man in despair, but of a man who believes. Although it deals with illness and crisis, it does not lead to destruction and death, but, on the contrary, to redemption." - Anders Österling, excerpt from the preface to the 1932 Swedish edition
