Steppenwolf

by Hermann Hesse, Basil Creighton (Editor)

Overview

Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf is not just a novel—it’s a journey into the fractured soul of humanity. Meet Harry Haller, a man torn between civilization and savagery, intellect and instinct, longing for belonging yet addicted to solitude. In this haunting, hallucinatory tale, Hesse invites you to step beyond the veil of convention into the Magical Theater—a place where identity shatters, reality bends, and the self becomes infinite. Existential dread meets mystical revelation. Bohemian jazz clubs, secret societies, and shadow selves. A novel that dances on the edge of madness and meaning. Whether you’re a seeker, a misfit, or simply curious about the wild wolves howling in your own psyche, Steppenwolf will challenge and change the way you see yourself—and the world.

Editorial Reviews

"A sharp, erudite new translation of Hesse’s moody classic."— Susan Bernofsky, Columbia University, and translator of The Metamorphosis

"An English-language translation that highlights both the thoughtfulness and, ultimately, the sheer personal power of the original. Beals has managed the considerable feat of making a cult classic of twentieth-century literature feel completely alive for the twenty-first."— Steve Donoghue Open Letters Monthly

"Kurt Beals’s splendid translation of this offbeat classic succeeds at once in conveying Hermann Hesse’s German cadence in elegant English and in rendering the novel’s dissonances more accessible for our times: the ambivalent, existential, dark, humorous, and magical elements within and surrounding protagonist Harry Haller. Together with the translator’s dexterous introduction for a new generation of readers and those curious to revisit the book’s multiple layers to unravel its fascinating possibilities, it is emphatically THE Steppenwolf."— Doreen Densky, New York University
