At first sight Harry Haller seems like a respectable, educated man. In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters - accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione - the misanthropic Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This haunting portrayal of a man who feels he is half-human and half-wolf became a counterculture classic for a disaffected generation. Yet it is also a story of redemption, and an intricately-structured modernist masterpiece. This is the first new translation of Steppenwolf for over eighty years, returning to the fresh, authentic language of Hesse's original.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1577828</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1577828</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hesse, Hermann, 1877-1962]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1577828037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Demian]]></title><description><![CDATA[First-person narration of a schoolboy's slow, puzzling awakening to maturity, to the world within and without, as he passes through successively strange encounters with his mysterious friend, Demian. The latter serves as the boy's mentor, his Vergil (in the Dantean sense), exerting now the powers of evil, now of good. The relationship between them is always hesitantly stated: on a psychological plane, an element of homoeroticism; on the social, different sequences describing the boy's various rebellions against his bourgeois background; and finally, religiously, the key motif; a kind of mystic mingling of Christianity and Buddhism. In the startling later passages, the boy, now eighteen, undergoes a romantic attachment to Demian's mother, followed by his baptism through fire at the front and the death of the wounded Demian in his presence. In the dream-like finale the boy bends over "that dark mirror to behold my own image, now completely resembling him, my brother, my master."]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1022672</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1022672</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hesse, Hermann, 1877-1962]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1022672037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stories of Five Decades]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1654007</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1654007</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hesse, Hermann, 1877-1962]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 1974 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1654007037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gertrude]]></title><description><![CDATA[With Gertrude, Herman Hesse continues his life-long exploration of the irreconcilable elements of human existence.

Kuhn is drawn to Gertrude upon their first meeting, but Gertrude falls in love with Heinrich, to whom she is introduced when Kuhn auditions them for the leads in his new opera. Hopelessly ill-matched, Gertrude and Heinrich have a disastrous marriage that leaves them both ruined.
