Hermann Hesse: Steppe Wolf
Steppe Wolf is a novel that launched Herman Hesse into the category of the most read and translated writers of the century.

There is an extraordinary similarity between Harry Haller and Herman Hesse: primarily the same initials which suggest to us right at the beginning that Hesse was trying to get rid of his own chaos through the character of Haller, which is manifested in Haller's messy life. Hesse put Steppe Wolf through psychoanalysis and tried to explain himself to himself through the main character.
