'The unhappiness that I need and long for...is of the kind that will let me suffer with eagerness and die with lust. That is the unhappiness,or happiness,that I am waiting for.'Alienated from society,Harry Haller is the Steppenwolf,wild,strange and shy. His despair and desire for death draw him into an enchanted,Faust-like underworld. Through a series of shadowy encounters,romantic,freakish and savage by turn,Haller begins to rediscover the lost dreams of his youth.Adopted by the Sixties counterculture,Steppenwolf captured the mood of a disaffected generation that was beginning to question everything.
