Steppe wolf. Narcissus and Chrysostom

The Steppe Wolf is one of the most important novels of the 20th century, first published in 1927. This is both a philosophical parable, and at the same time a deep study of a person’s psychology trying to find and find his own self. This is a love story that leads to an unexpected tragic denouement, it is a political, social novel in which the hero acts as a fierce critic of existing philistinism. You dive into this book as a whirlpool with your head, it fascinates you with its special rhythm, with its unique atmosphere is half -shocked - half -gathering, half -decisions - semi -slate, rhythms of jazz, carnival masks, literary allusions and amazing discoveries, which the main character makes in the way of self -enforcement.

“Narcissus and Chrysostom” - a philosophical story that, along with “Peter Kamensind”, is considered a key to the creative formation of Hesse, a fascinating and wise work that has not yet lost philosophical relevance and still delights readers with subtle sophistication.
