Steppenwolf
About This Novel
This book is an autobiographical novel by Hermann Hesse, a classic work of self-healing and growth for "social fears". The protagonist Harry had lofty personal ideals when he was young, but was rejected by the society at that time. Once, he read a booklet called "Steppenwolf" and awakened the "wolf nature" hidden under his "human nature". In order to get rid of the pain of loneliness, he went to a pub to get drunk and have fun, but he only gained short-term relief. Later, he entered a magic theater and saw various scattered personalities, so he pieced them together into a complete self. Finally, he got rid of despair and returned to real life. This book uses Harry's situation to express Hesse's own physical and mental healing process, while also revealing the symptoms of the decline of European culture at that time.
