A review by spectracommunist
Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
5.0
“In eternity there is no time, only an instant long enough for a joke.”
German literature is the best!
This starts as a non-fiction philosophy about the Steppenwolf and what role such animal personalities have to play in human lives. And then begins a journey of self-discovery and a conflict arises between savage solitude and hedonistic pleasures within a magic theatre as a microcosm of our universe. It's a deep meditation and simultaneously lascivious exploration of a mid-life crisis and the erudition of a lone wise wolf or vast possibilities of lustful existence. And after all, the importance of humor.
I even got to know several distinct philosophical aspects of the existence of Mozart as a fictitious character in the fiction itself. And whatever Hesse writes is unquestionably an intellectual and spiritual orgy of the mind to read.
