Synopsis
Encrucijada de todas las obsesiones e intuiciones de Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) y exponente de su singular talento para el relato, El lobo estepario se inscribe dentro del empeñoo, patente a lo largo de toda su obra, por iluminar la zona oscura de la condición humana a fin de poner al descubierto su carga tráñica y su incierto destino. Ser solitario e incomunicado, extrano y extrañado, Harry Haller, protagonista de esta emblemática novela, ha acabado convirtiéndose en un arquetipo literario en el que se reconocen quienes padecen los efectos deshumanizadores de una sociedad que no conoce la solidaridad y propicia el aislamiento.
With its blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, Hesse’s best-known and most autobiographical work is one of literature’s most poetic evocations of the soul’s journey to liberation.Harry Haller is a sad and lonely figure, a reclusive intellectual for whom life holds no joy. He struggles to reconcile the wild primeval wolf and the rational man within himself without surrendering to the bourgeois values he despises. His life changes dramatically when he meets a woman who is his opposite, the carefree and elusive Hermine. The tale of the Steppenwolf culminates in the surreal Magic Theater—For Madmen Only!
Originally published in English in 1929, Steppenwolf ’s wisdom continues to speak to our souls and marks it as a classic of modern literature.
