Steppenwolf
About This Novel
This book selects the writer's Nobel-winning work "Steppenwolf" and the novel "Peter Kamenzin". Among them, the autobiographical novel by the author of "Steppenwolf". Steppenwolf is a man in his late 50s named Harry Haller. A few years ago, he rented the loft of my aunt's house and lived there for less than a year. He is taciturn and unsociable, indeed a wolf as he claims to be, a strange, wild and timid animal from another world. His face is full of wisdom and gentle expression, but his inner world is turbulent. He thinks more than others and possesses an almost clinical objectivity intellectually. Such people have no vanity, they never want to shine, and they are never stubborn.

The Unfinished Journey-Review of "Steppenwolf"
Hesse is a famous German writer who has been in exile for a long time. He is thinking about his motherland and people all the time. In this book, the author uses expressionist techniques that were very avant-garde at the time, and uses artistic techniques such as dreams, streams of consciousness, and symbols to show the depression and distress in the inner world of the protagonist Harrell. According to Hesse, individuals are lonely and unable to achieve complete rationality. The fate of an individual will continue to rise and fall in the tide of culture and real environment. Hesse put people's spiritual beliefs in the first place of performance. He believed that once a person's soul or spiritual life dies, life will become suffering and even become a cruel hell. Life is full of suffering. How to grasp the meaning of life, overcome the materialization of society and the alienation of human nature, and then escape from the slavery of technology and money are major issues of the times that each of us needs to reflect on. Facing a modern society that advocates technology and ignores spiritual ethics, we must stand up and fight. Although this process is difficult and may be confusing and confusing at the beginning, we must persevere and prepare for victory tomorrow. The character of the protagonist Harel is diverse. He not only has a bright and kind side of human nature, but also has wolf and animal nature. When his heart is too divided, he will have hallucinations and feel that countless selves are arising within him. When the vulgar, dark, and sinful self takes over, he will be extremely miserable. In an era of overwhelming materialism and money first, he felt powerless and at a loss as to what to do. In such an environment, Harrell's mental pressure increased. He began to struggle, doubted life, and believed that knowledge, morality and faith were a pile of waste. Society is turbulent, and the nature of human nature is lonely. Only by constantly wandering can the spirit find a pure holy land. As Hesse said, deep inside everyone there is a Steppenwolf who is willing to be alone but longs to be understood. Hermann Hesse told us a truth with "Steppenwolf", that is, if the era or society does not pay attention to the human spirit, and adopts a contemptuous and indifferent attitude towards the human inner, our future will become a wasteland, and the people in it will lose their humanity and become like animals, preying on the weak and the strong, and there will never be peace. The protagonist Hara in the book resists this world that makes people sink deeper and deeper and gradually destroys the human spirit and soul. He attempts to expose the shortcomings and pathologies of this era. In essence, this is a journey to hell, and it is also a journey of life that is sometimes terrifying and sometimes brave. After passing through the horrible and primitive realm, he is determined to travel through purgatory, fight against chaos, and bear all sins. This is the main purpose of this book. In the process of pursuit, Hara experienced a strange and strange realm that seemed like a dream, an illusion, and something real. He experienced countless illusory worlds and magical theaters, and finally confirmed that: within the appearance of the external world, there is actually infinite solemnity, immortality, and holiness hidden; beyond the wildness and chaos of all external things, there is a transcendent and eternal world.
"The essence of loneliness is that there is no one to turn to. I have a desire for loneliness. After experiencing it for so long, I finally got it."
steppenwolf
Steppenwolf is more difficult to understand than Hesse's other books, but Hesse's books always make you breathe a sigh of relief and make your heart beat faster after reading them.
Lonely philosopher, profound thoughts, split spirit, tangled personality
Human nature and wolf nature coexist in one body. Sometimes they compete with each other, and sometimes they complement each other. Free, uninhibited, wild yet kind, rational, and restrained, forming an extraordinary and charming personality.

good
It's good to study hard and make progress every day
Some people play games just to pass time, not for fun. In my eyes, reading is the best way to spend time.
It seems that the author and our lives can be seen in these two works.
In comparison, being abused by life is far nobler and better than killing it with your own hands.
