Summary

Steppenwolf: A Misanthrope’s Journey of Self-Discovery

This Faust-like and magical story explores the humanization of a middle-aged misanthrope, once described as a ‘savage indictment of bourgeois society’. However, it is also a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of intellectual hypocrisy. This self-portrait of a man who felt himself to be half-human and half-wolf invites readers to delve into the complexities of identity and societal expectations.
