About This Novel

Harry Haller, a scholar who despised the life of the citizen class, felt at a loss everywhere. A pamphlet called "The Wolf of the Wilderness" that he got by chance revealed his dilemma. After meeting the dancer Hermina, he was taken into another world where he indulged in dancing and indulgence. Later, Harry was invited to the dream-like magic theater, where he experienced the taste of killing, had a conversation with Mozart, tamed each other with wild wolves, and finally killed his lover out of love and jealousy... The author used Harry's struggle between purity and desire, sublimity and mediocrity, and the mutually hostile inner humanity and wolf nature to reflect on the life of the middle class, criticize the values ​​of intellectuals, and conduct the most fundamental and thorough questioning of industrial society, war, love, and self.
