Hermann Hesse, 1929
HESSE, Hermann (1877-1962). Steppenwolf. Translated by Basil Creighton. London: Martin Secker, 1929.

First English edition of Hesse’s popular novel on the personal crisis of an aging intellectual, in dust jacket. Its popularity was reignited by the psychedelic and counterculture movements of the 1960s, who valued its transcendence of the individual.
