 What goes around............., 2001-07-15
Hermanne Hesse's reputation flowered amongst the sixties 'love affair' with all things Zen and Eastern, but in recent years his Buddhist allegories of self discovery have passed people by. 'Stepponwolf' was to most people a rock band from Canada who were on the 'Easy Rider' soundtrack. But Hesse's fiction is getting re printed more frequently now and 'Journey to the East' is what 'Apocalypse' was for D H Lawrence, a kind of philosophical touch stone to his fiction and a must read for any fans. Following a group of characters through time,myth and the very nature of self, Hesse blends the experiences he had with people like Paul Klee, into a sprawling tale of awakening and re-discovery of the nature of being. The East like a giant philosophical focul point draws all Western strands of narrative toward it, the stories middle beginning and end are not exactly clear cut, but what is clear is Hesse's determined stride to re awaken something he thought the world had lost after the two world wars. This book floats on the river of re-prints like a lotus flower, bobbing back onto book shelves like a hopeful ray of light.

A deserving cult classic - a philosophical novel, 2004-03-04
Argued by many to have influenced the counterculture of the 1960s, "Steppen Wolf" succeeds in captivating the reader with its philosophical informative stance, while entertaining with its inclusion into an immersing plot.Similar in style to "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder, this is a book about philosophy using the plot of a novel to present its ideas, although with more maturity and depth than this comparison. The main narrator is the Steppen Wolf himself - a self-concious and depressed man cynical of the bourgeouis soceity in which he lives. Although a very distinct character, we are able to empathise with his experiences and the thoughts he has. We follow a great change in the Steppen Wolf as he is introduced to new relationships and a very different culture and way of life to that which he endures at the beginning of the novel. The reader is presented with an alternative method of thought, looking deeper into the obvious and ourselves. Nothing more need be said of this classic except of its guarantee to captivate the reader and force upon them obvious questions perhaps never asked before - one of those books you find your mind drifting back to long after its back on the bookshelf.

 very poor presentation, 2009-09-13
Siddhartha is a wonderful book, but this is a terrible edition. It looks like it was made on someone's kitchen table. Pay a little more and get a proper edition!

Ein sehr gut gelungenes Buch., 2000-09-22
Dieses Buch finde ich deswegen so gut, weil es dem Leser einen Wegzeiger gibt, wie man mit Problemen im Leben umgehen soll. Besonders gut stellt er da, wie der Mensch mit viel Geld oft nicht zufrieden und glücklich ist. Das Buch schlägt jedem auf sein Gewissen, weil sich eigentlcih jeder einzelne in den Mann reinversetzen kann. SUPER. Das Buch sit wircklich genial, dafür dass es so alt ist, ist es sehr spandend geschrieben.
