What is Steppenwolf about?

Steppenwolf is a famous German writer by Hermann Hesse.

Created in 1927, it is a work that is very popular among young people in the West.

The protagonist is a writer who is out of step with his surroundings, and he is immersed in a realm of self-unconsciousness that he is unaware of, and is regarded as an abnormal person by society, so he is named "Steppenwolf". Some have likened him to Kafka's metamorphoses, a victim of capitalism.

However, "Steppenwolf" Harry Harrell is not equal to "Metamorphosis".

in Gregor, he was in an irrational capitalist society.

, which expresses a kind of silent resistance, he wanders around, sometimes even a "wolf" that can eat people, rather than a "beetle" who can only be depressed and have no ability to resist.

At the end of the book, Harrell is in a fantasy realm where he "transforms into any animal", where he shoots and knocks over the enemy's car for a while, and even feels the joy of suicide ......Through the opposition between "wolf nature" and "human nature" in Harald, the two world wars are reflected in twists and turns.

During this period, the loneliness, hesitation and depression of ordinary intellectuals.

Hesse's work focuses on the spiritual and psychological aspects of the society in which he lived. In his view, although the real world is dark and decaying, and the relationship between people and the world is antagonistic, people are not afraid of this world, and people can find their own spiritual paradise after painful exploration and tempering. This subjective perception and understanding of the real world determines that most of Hesse's works focus on criticizing reality and pursuing ideals.

"The Waste Land" is a long poem written by the modern British poet Eliot, published in 1922.

Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf

A book that is not recommended to read.

"Steppenwolf" refers to the author himself, as a wild animal, but intrudes into the crowded home circle, the author expresses his desire for liberation while following the rules of the contradiction, in the social level of people and the inner level of the wolf's struggle.

In fact, it is not ugly or obscure, but because the book was written early, combined with the background of the world's change and development at that time, and the author's negative psychological ...... about himselfCausing the book to look awkward.

At the very least, I think it's awkward. The meaning that the author wants to express is not outdated or inconsistent even now, but because it is too stream-of-consciousness, it is really difficult to read it carefully.

Then there are foreign language works, which have a lot to do with translation. The translation emphasizes "Xinda Ya", and this version translated by Shanghai Translation Publishing House seems to be a bit lacking in "Ya". Moreover, I'm really a little uncomfortable with the "oh", "Jane noisy" and "damn" aria of foreign languages (especially in ......the West)**

Finally, if you feel that you are sometimes avoidant, misanthropic, and do not want to interact with people, or that you feel that you are mentally ill (I don't mean swearing), then you can try reading this book, maybe it will be able to ** you.
