Reseña del editor:

Expérience spirituelle, récit initiatique, délire de psychopathe, Le Loup des steppes multiplie les registres. Salué à sa parution en 1927 (entre autres par Thomas Mann, qui déclare : " Ce livre m'a réappris à lire "), interdit sous le régime nazi, roman culte des années 1960 et 1970, c'est une des œuvres phares de la littérature universelle du XXe siècle. Il méritait une nouvelle traduction. Le voici enfin rendu avec tout l'éclat de ses fulgurances, la troublante obscurité de ses zones d'ombre.

Biografía del autor:

When this German novelist, poet, and essayist publicly denounced the savagery and hatred of World War I, he was considered a traitor. He moved to Switzerland where he eventually became a naturalized citizen. He warned of the advent of World War II, predicting that cultureless efficiency would destroy the modern world. His theme is the conflict between the elements of a person's dual nature and the problem of spiritual loneliness. His first novel, Peter Camenzind, was published in 1904. His masterpiece, Death and the Lover (1930), contrasts a scholarly abbot and his beloved pupil, who leaves the monastery for the adventurous world. Steppenwolf (1927), a European bestseller, was published when defeated Germany had begun to plan for another war. It is the story of Haller, who recognizes in himself the blend of the human and wolfish traits of the completely sterile scholarly project. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in 1946. During the 1960s Hesse became a favorite writer of the counter culture, especially in the United States, though his critical reputation has never equaled his popularity. Hermann Hesse died in 1962.
