About this audiobook

In this existential masterpiece, Hermann Hesse explores the duality of human nature through the eyes of Harry Haller, a troubled intellectual torn between his civilized self and his primal, animalistic desires. As Harry navigates the underbelly of 1920s German society, he encounters a captivating woman named Hermine, who guides him through a transformative journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Through vivid imagery and profound philosophical insights, Steppenwolf delves into the complexities of the human psyche, challenging readers to confront their own inner demons and embrace the multifaceted nature of their being.
