Description

A new translation by David Horrocks. At first sight Harry Haller seems like a respectable, educated man.

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 haunting portrayal of a man who feels he is half-human and half-wolf became a counterculture classic for a disaffected generation.

Yet it is also a story of redemption, and an intricately-structured modernist masterpiece.

This is the first new translation of Steppenwolf for over eighty years, returning to the fresh, authentic language of Hesse's original.
