Steppenwolf (originally Der Steppenwolf) is the tenth novel by German-Swiss author Hermann Hesse. Originally published in Germany in 1927, it was first translated into English in 1929. The novel was named after the German name for the steppe wolf. The story in large part reflects a profound crisis in Hesse's spiritual world during the 1920s. Steppenwolf was wildly popular and has been a perpetual success across the decades, but Hesse later asserted that the book was largely misunderstood.

Disclaimer: If you are struggling with depression, I would skip this one.

That being said, as a long time Hesse adorer, I found this particular book difficult to get into. I found myself, many times, wanting to put it down in favor of something else. But I continued by sheer will alone and found the ending to be among the best I have ever read. From the masked ball to the magic theater, what a fevered dream of imposing dialogue and candid internal dialogue.

4 estrellas

De lo que he sido capaz de entender y asimilar, serían 5 estrellas, pero el libro se va adentrando cada vez más en el territorio onírico y de la locura hasta niveles en ocasiones demasiado difíciles para mi entendimiento.
Eso sí, un libro intenso y que merece la pena aunque sólo sea por algunas de sus reflexiones
