Steppenwolf
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.

Octavo. 4 pp. publisher's ads at end, with two 4 pp. ads for Phoebe Fenwick Gaye's Vivandière! and Arnold Zweig's The Case of Sergeant Grischa laid in. Original black cloth; patterned dust jacket; custom box. Provenance: A. H. Spencer (Australian bookseller's tag on front pastedown).
