In reality, he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society, and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters—accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe, and the bewitching Hermione—the misanthropic Haller undergoes a spiritual, even psychedelic, journey, and ultimately discovers a higher truth and the possibility of happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blistering portrait of a man who feels himself to be half human and half wolf was the bible of the 1960s counterculture, capturing the mood of a disaffected generation. It continues to resonate as a haunting story of estrangement, redemption, and the search for one’s place in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e256 pages\u003cbr\u003ePenguin Classics, 2025\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1927\u003cbr\u003e5.06 x 7.75 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780143137825\u003cbr\u003eClassic Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51675140522152,"sku":"9780143137825","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/2025_Penguin_Steppenwolf_9780143137825.jpg?v=1741021317","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/steppenwolf","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
