This is a complete and unabridged reading of Herman Hesse's modern classic - a haunting story of estrangement and redemption. Harry Haller is a sad and lonely figure, a reclusive intellectual for whom life holds no joy. He struggles to reconcile the wild primeval wolf and the rational man within himself without surrendering to the bourgeois values he despises. His life changes dramatically when he meets a woman who is his opposite, the carefree and elusive Hermine. With its blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, Hesse's best-known and most autobiographical work, published in English in 1929, "Steppenwolf" continues to speak to our souls and marks it as a classic of modern literature. It is read by acclaimed US actor Peter Weller.
