 Steppenwolf (Ο λύκος της στέπας),Herman Hesse, 1927

It is the first book I read by Herman Hesse and since then I always buy or borrow one from the library. As mentioned in a book revew : ''Steppwolf is one of those books that you find it indifferent at 20, it will trouble you at 25 and you will finally feel it at 30".  It is timeless because it deals with the people who must learn how to enjoy life and themselves.


 A few words about the book 

Steppenwolf is a poetical self-portrait of a man who felt himself to be half-human and half-wolf. This Faust-like and magical story is evidence of Hesse's searching philosophy and extraordinary sense of humanity as he tells of the humanization of a middle-aged misanthrope. Yet his novel can also be seen as a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of the intellectual hypocrisy of the period. As Hesse himself remarked, "Of all my books Steppenwolf is the one that was more often and more violently misunderstood than any of the others"
