Harry Haller is a sad and lonely figure, a reclusive intellectual for whom life holds no joy. He struggles to reconcile the wild, primeval wolf and the rational man within himself without surrendering to the bourgeois values he despises. His life changes dramatically when he meets a woman who is his opposite, the carefree and elusive Hermine.

With its blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, Steppenwolf, Hesse' best-known and most autobiographical work, originally published in English in 1929, continues to speak to our souls as a classic of modern literature.

I've answered this now-cliche question to my satisfaction in a couple ways, but nothing beats a great example, and this is one of them. I can see where it's not for everyone at every time, but I was so glad I stuck it out (the beginning was a little slow in parts). And I don't believe it could have been read any more perfectly. Please put me on the list of people who want to be notified when any audiobooks with Peter Weller as Narrator are released. Thank you!

It is difficult to do justice to this complex story with its many layers of meaning, but this presentation is truly extraordinary. Many parallels with our own time make Steppenwolf as relevant now as when it was written.

Beautiful novel beautifully read

Would you listen to Steppenwolf again? Why?

yes, but I won't wait the 40 plus years it has been since I 1st read it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Harry Holler

Which character – as performed by Peter Weller – was your favorite?

Harry Holler

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no, it is too dense for taking in all in one dose. I preferred listening in several installments

Any additional comments?

There is a lot to reflect on in this work.

great story, well told

Captivating story has caught my attention from beginning to end. Good narration and worth the purchase.

Captivating

A good redition of a classic. You will need to look at several discussions of this before you begin to get what is going on. Much of it is surreal and you end up wondering if some of the main characters are more allegorical than flesh and blood.

A good redition of a classic.

Would you consider the audio edition of Steppenwolf to be better than the print version?

Since I haven't read the print version, I cannot compare, but on the other hand, having listened to quite a few audio books, I believe this to be a very good preformance, easy to follow and the monotone voice of the narrator suited the mood of the book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Steppenwolf?

Lots of these, mainly the way his charactor is describing his own thoughts, I think I have often felt the same way, as many people probably have, but we don't have the courage to act on them.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Mallor went with new friends to a party, he felt out of place and at that moment realized how much even the normal activities of others left him indifferent and unmoved.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When he realized his dance partner was the one person who understood him, allowing him to discover for himself how he felt about her and relationships.

Any additional comments?

This book does not have a great title, most wouldn't know the meaning in translation, but it is very appropriate after listening to the story. I had known of it's existance as a classic, but until now, was not inclined to read it. I think the audible version would be better for people to understand as the story and the meaning of it, have been debated for years. Most of us could relate to Mallor and I feel Hesse draws attention to many deeper, darker thought processes we all have at one time or another. I enjoyed this book for pealing back and revealing some interesting layers of the human spirit.

Overlooked for the Title

There is this bourgeoisie period in every man's life. This midpoint between birth and death where man is trapped alone. Unable to exist in hot or cold of the absolutes he tries to find his way between the extremes in the comfortable center. Fearing life and death, he just exists ... barely. This is not a novel for the young. Just like it is better to save King Lear for late in one's life, it is better to save Steppenwolf for those crisis years of the midlife.

Hesse's novels seem to flirt between the edge of memoir, scripture, prose poem and Eastern philosophy tract. This isn't a book you want to read in a hot bath with scotch in one hand and a razor blade in the other. You will either spill your drink or spill your blood or lose every printed word, the hot water erasing pages and pickling your fingers, toes and time.

There are parts of me that get super irritated by Hesse and parts of me that absolutely love him. It depends, I guess, on what part of me is dominating at the time, which of my selves is dislocated and which is demanding the most.

Somedays, I wonder if I had my druthers I'd be a shepherd and write poetry on rocks. Unfortunately, I am a bourgeoisie bitch cloaking myself in cashmere and not a mangy wolf from the steppes.

Save this Hesse novel for your midlife crisis.

I could listen to Peter Weller narrate the phone book. Here he narrates one of the classics of European literature and it is so good. So so so good.

Weller and Hesse? I say YES

Would you consider the audio edition of Steppenwolf to be better than the print version?

No, but Peter Weller did an amazing job bringing Haller to life.

What did you like best about this story?

Hesse captures what it means to live, and if read (or listened to) properly, offers a hopeful warning for the young, while also presenting a means of communal acceptance for those who have lived much of their years already.

Which scene was your favorite?

Not the magic theater--it was too "beat you over the head with moralizing symbolism"--although, I would never suggest it isn't a necessary component of the piece. I liked the bar scene where Haller went to avoid his apartment in an attempt to forestall his suicide.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A film could never do the book justice.

Any additional comments?

After reading Hesse's Siddhartha, I expected a good deal of musings on life. However, where Siddhartha presents ideas in a simplistic archetypal fashion, Steppenwolf has nuance and depth. Excellent, raw emotional exposure.

More than I expected
