Harry Haller is a melancholy and lonely character, a solitary thinker who has no joy in life. He tries to reconcile his inner wild, primal wolf and intellectual man without succumbing to the bourgeois values he despises. His life is turned upside down when he meets Hermine, a careless and mysterious lady who is the polar opposite of him.
Steppenwolf, Hesse' bestknown and most autobiographical work, first published in English in 1929, continues to speak to our souls as a masterpiece of modern literature, with its blend of Eastern mysticism and Western civilization.
