I am not even gonna bother trying to do an intelligent review of this book (because I felt this book more than I thought through it and because analysing something that laughs at pointless intellectualising is to be unironically obtuse). I just hope my reading path will loop at some point and take me back through this book a few years or decades later.

Ein Buch, das sich für mich nicht bewerten lässt. Von 1 bis 5 Sterne war alles dabei. Ich denke jedes Buch hat seine Zeit, in der es in dein Leben eintritt und auch bei diesem habe ich das Gefühl, es ist zur rechten Zeit gekommen. Dennoch bin ich über das Ende etwas frustriert und wünschte mir, der Kreis hätte sich nicht geschlossen, sondern es hätte zwei Seiten eher geendet, beim Tribunal des Steppenwolfs. Einige Leute finden, dieses Buch ist als erstes von Hesse eher ungeeignet aber ich glaube als zweites oder drittes Werk, hätte mich der steppenwolf mehr frustriert. So bin ich gespannt auf seine darauffolgenden Veröffentlichungen und offen für mehr.

Nonostante le recensioni molto positive a me questo libro non ha trasmesso ciò che vedo ha trasmesso agli altri. Mi dispiace molto e per questo motivo mi interrogo sul perché, forse non sono riuscita a carpirne i significati più profondi, forse questo per me non era il momento di leggere questo libro, forse Harry mi somiglia fin troppo, forse, forse, forse....
La prima parte mi è piaciuta, mi sono ritrovata nella crisi esistenziale di Harry, nel suo voler fare mille cose e poi non concludere nulla, poi dalla discussione della società borghese ho iniziato a distaccarmi, e l'ultima parte l'ho percepita troppo animale, troppo surreale.
