Steppenwolf
By Hesse, Hermann|Creighton, Basil
Steppenwolf
Hesse, in his autobiographical book, is a man drunk on Nietzsche and Schopenhauerian pessimism, with an added dose of Eastern mysticism. This novel, written in 1927, contains savage indictments of conventional bourgeois morality and searching philosophic forays into the role of art, music and the independent, self-willed individual.
