With its blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, Hesse's best-known and most autobiographical work is one of literature's most poetic evocations of the soul's journey to liberationHarry 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. The tale of the Steppenwolf culminates in the surreal Magic Theater--For Madmen Only Originally published in English in 1929, "Steppenwolf "'s wisdom continues to speak to our souls and marks it as a classic of modern literature.

It was as if the book was written just for me. I had the same doubts Harry Haller was having, and I listened to Harry's friends talking to him as if they were talking to me. I was left in doubt, but it opened new windows. Indeed, it is the world of my own soul I seek.(展开)

历时两个多月终于断断续续读完,给自己深深鞠个躬先。与Siddartha相比,哲学充斥过多,不免晦涩沉重,而轮回及具众生相的佛陀论已初显端倪。尼采和克尔凯戈尔的影子过于明显——尽管孤独的克尔凯戈尔是一个忧郁而迷人的存在。诗意的黑塞并没有得到彰显。少给的一分,因为笔工及行文的刻意。

也许Harry的抱怨这是我五十岁会说出来的话,但是我现在才二十岁,还没有能力把我内心对外界的畏缩像hesse这样言语化。因为首先我不知道我要问的问题是什么,所以相应地,治愈Harry的答案并不能完全唤醒我。

据维基百科上的信息,我读不懂是因为我没看过荣格…

非常奇异的一本书,很难去界定这样一部作品到底是什么。在读到⅓的时候几乎要放弃,但是实在很好奇Harry Haller的故事,后面越读越觉得被吸引,非同凡响的阅读体验。过一段时间要再读一遍这本书。这本书也为我以后学德语又增加了一个动机。
