About This Novel
"Steppenwolf" is a masterpiece novel by Hermann Hesse, the famous German writer and winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize for Literature. It was published in 1927. The protagonist of the novel, Harry Haller, is a loner living in the city. He has a good education and lives a reclusive citizen's life, but there is a wild Steppenwolf hidden deep in his soul. This deep division in his soul plunged his life into deep pain. The work uses a surrealist approach to demonstrate the loss of faith in the European and American world after the First World War, the desolation of the spiritual world, and the anxiety and split personality of modern people. It is also an "autobiography" of the author who is deeply troubled by depression. This book was once again welcomed by the younger generation in Europe, America and other countries in the 1960s and 1970s.
