Overview

<b>'The unhappiness that I need and long for . . . is of the kind that will let me suffer with eagerness and die with lust. That is the unhappiness, or happiness, that I am waiting for.'</b><br> <br> Alienated from society, Harry Haller is the Steppenwolf, wild, strange and shy. His despair and desire for death draw him into an enchanted, Faust-like underworld. Through a series of shadowy encounters, romantic, freakish and savage by turn, Haller begins to rediscover the lost dreams of his youth.<br> <br> Adopted by the Sixties counterculture, <i>Steppenwolf</i> captured the mood of a disaffected generation that was beginning to question everything.
