Steppenwolf (Popular Penguin)

This Faust-like and magical story of the humanization of a middle-aged misanthrope was described in The New York Times as a ‘savage indictment of bourgeois society’. But, as the author notes in this edition, Steppenwolf is a book that has been consistently misinterpreted. This self-portrait of a man who felt himself to be half- human and half-wolf can also be seen as a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of intellectual hypocrisy.
