A story that focuses on the loneliness and suffering of the protagonist, Harry Haller, who feels that he has no place in a world filled with meaningless frivolity. Having decided to take his own life a chance encounter causes him to change his views and he begins to learn ways to enjoy life. One of the most misunderstood of his novels the book is, according to Hesse, about the possibilities of transcendence and healing.

I want to leave my perspective as a non-native but fluent German speaker

The book begins as a pretty hard read. The first half of the book is composed mostly of internal monologues of the main character (Harry Haller), going on about his views of the world, his philosophy, his depression, and his belief of having a "split soul" between a man and a wolf. This is definitely a type of language that is harder to read and understand. However, the story starts to develop more in the second half of the book, with more events and dialog between characters instead of internal monologue. From the moment Harry meets Hermine onward, the book becomes much easier to read.

Se stai male con te stesso stai male con chiunque

Credo che il titolo della recensione sia il riassunto perfetto di questo romanzo che racconta dell'eterno scontro tra individuo e società, individuo e inconscio, individuo e natura egoica... Harry, il protagonista, si ritrova a fare i conti con se stesso e ciò che è diventato nel corso della sua vita. Scritto negli anni 30, ma si adatta perfettamente al tempo moderno. Non facile ma bellissimo. Un classico che andrebbe rivisitato, riletto e rivalutato.
