'Steppenwolf' is the semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical tale of Harry Haller, a man whose nature is part man and part wolf. Hermann Hesse wrote this (his 10th novel) in 1927 during a prolonged existential crisis caused by the Great War, marriage problems and a severe depression. It explores themes of suicidal depression, the plurality of inner voices/desires and intense loneliness. A book that is 'For Madmen Only'.
