Description
Discover the profound depths of 'Steppenwolf,' a timeless classic by Hermann Hesse. This stunning new translation by David Horrocks breathes fresh life into a story that resonates with readers seeking existential meaning and self-discovery. The novel follows Harry Haller, a well-educated man who grapples with intense feelings of alienation and disconnection from the modern world. As the embodiment of duality—part-man, part-wolf—Haller navigates a series of surreal encounters that challenge his views on happiness, society, and redemption. This richly-layered narrative features an array of compelling characters, including the enigmatic Hermione and illustrious figures like Mozart and Goethe, who guide Haller on his transformative journey. Perfect for fans of literary fiction and modernist literature, 'Steppenwolf' is not only a poignant exploration of the human condition but also a counterculture classic that defines the search for identity in a fragmented world. With 272 pages of insightful prose, this B-format paperback published by Penguin UK is an essential addition to any bookshelf. Embrace the complexity of the human psyche and embark on a reading experience unlike any other with Hesse’s masterwork, now available in this authentic and evocative translation.
