Steppenwolf: Treatise on the Steppenwolf

by Jaroslav Hesse, Hermann; Bradac

Steppenwolf, Hermann Hesse's most famous novel, portrays a man who is at once irrevocably cut off from and inextricably dependent on society. In the "Treatise on the Steppenwolf," Hesse digresses from the plot of the novel to analyze his protagonist and, in so doing, comments brilliantly on the predicament of modern man.

Jaroslav Bradac, a gifted Czech artist, has captured in forty-five magnificent paintings the essence of Hesse's work. In this book are reproduced his paintings and the full text of the "Treatise on the Steppenwolf."

Mr. Bradac created and directed the animated version of the "Treatise" in the film of Steppenwolf.

The ultimate sad boy chronicle. Maybe I would’ve understood it better if I shared Hesse’s religious values and truly believed we can be saved through spiritual healing.

It was a very powerful book that I enjoyed but at first it was quite difficult to read since it was very dence and full of different information. But after a hile it went on smoothly

Heb het onlangs nog eens herlezen, na zo'n (meer dan) 35 jaar en zou er nu maar twee sterren aan geven. Blijkbaar sprak het mijn jeugdig enthousiasme meer aan dan mijn middelbare (oude!) bezadigdheid!
