Hesse, Hermann - Steppenwolf (Published in by The Folio Society in 2018. In publishing Hermann Hesse for the first time, Folio presents an edition of Steppenwolf featuring images by Dan Hillier, and a very unusual facsimile, bound into the book itself. Bound in printed and blocked heat-sensitive paper. 208 pages with 32-page pamphlet insert. Black & white title-page spread, black & white illustrated tract cover. Printed and spot-varnished endpapers. Plain slipcase. 9" x 5.75". Isolated from modern life and hiding from his past, Harry Haller is tormented by the sense that he is two beings in one body: the savage 'wolf of the steppes', and his intellectual human self. Unable to force his dual natures to coexist, suicide appears to offer his only path to peace. However, when he is given a pamphlet that seems intimately familiar with his innermost struggles, it prompts a life-affirming spiritual awakening – via a hallucinatory exploration of the physical self. A modernist masterpiece that found new popularity in the revolutionary 1960s, we have The Folio Society has crafted a suitably unusual edition of this remarkable work. )
