In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters - accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione - the misanthropic Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This blistering portrayal of a man who feels himself to be half-human and half-wolf was the bible of the 1960s counterculture, capturing the mood of a disaffected generation, and remains a haunting story of estrangement and redemption.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHerman Hesse (1877 - 1962) suffered from depression and weathered series of personal crises which led him to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang; a process which resulted in Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse's subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930) and his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you enjoyed Steppenwolf, you might like Hesse's Siddhartha, also available in Penguin Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'A savage indictment of bourgeois society ... the gripping and fascinating story of disease in a man's soul'\u003cbr\u003e\nThe New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141192093\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, German\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49158599999792,"sku":"Prakash_9780141192093","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/penguin-book-default-title-steppenwolf-38953922167088.jpg?v=1753017744","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/steppenwolf","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
