Hermann Hesse

Steppe wolf Hermann Hesse

The steppe wolf is one of the most impressive readings and is most often remembered by those who undertake it. On the one hand, the story it tells is a mind-boggling journey into the fears, anguishes and fears that contemporary man is doomed to. But on the other hand, Hesse's narrative expertise reaches its climax in this novel, because through the combination of narrative voices and points of view, it offers us various dimensions of a character who tries to live outside of social conventions. It is undoubtedly the work to which the name of Hesse has been most closely associated. A Hessian book is always an event, and the recent appearance of His Essential Stories, also published in Edhasa, was warmly received by critics. Perhaps among the most unique thing about this novel is that it is a work widely read by adolescents, which discovers a hard way of facing society, romantic relationships and death. It is considered the masterpiece of a great author.
