Timestamps- (for fellow Stuy gang) Preface: 3:21 (Harry Haller's Records) p.25 "For Madmen Only": 43:34 p.40 "Treatise on the Steppenwolf": 1:17:55 p.56 After "...he shrinks in such deathly fear" 1:53:15 p.66 After "...he would smile at this Steppenwolf" 2:15:50 p.78 After "...child's play of that charming world" 2:43:00 p.93 After "...dreamed more lightly and pleasantly than I had for a while" 3:13:35 p.106 After "...myself to this magnetic power and follow this star" 3:40:30 p.136 After "With a curse, I came back to the razor" 4:42:15 p.147 After "...the thousand souls of the Steppenwolf treatise" 5:05:50 p.158 After "...within me a last burst of wild desire..." 5:29:28 p.173 After "Where had I heard this laugh before? I could not tell" 6:02:00 p.190 After "...and then the planks gave way and we both fell into vacancy" 6:37:00 p.208 After "But then breath and consciousness failed me" 7:16:30
The video cuts off a tiny bit at the end, so here's the last two sentences in case anyone is wondering: "I would sample its tortures once more and shudder again at its senselessness. I would traverse not once more, but often, the hell of my inner being. "One day I would be a better hand at the game. One day I would learn how to laugh. Pablo was waiting for me, and Mozart too."
I read this masterpiece as a young man in 1999 on a 7-month backpacking adventure around Europe & its surrounds. I had already graduated university & after that lived a year as a beach bum in Hawaii, reading all the great novels I knew I "needed to" to validate my self-anointed egotistical title of "intellectual". I was a searcher, full of confusion & anger. &, then, I came across The Steppenwolf. I felt, like Haller when he came upon the Treatise, that this novel was written about me. How could Hesse know all those secret thoughts I had swirling in the most secret parts of my mind? Now, 20 years later, as a middle-aged man now, I see this amazing novel so differently than I did as a lost & immature young man. There is so much truth & brutal honesty in this that it makes my mind blow & my soul scream out. Hermann Hesse is a once in a century soul & mind that sees the truth in all things; but, then scoffs at it and throws it in the garbage, laughing at how insignificant it all is. There is no novel on the level of this masterpiece, the Steppenwolf.
When I was reading it for the first time I quit. I was 18 or 19 and, for some reason, I found it...Well I quit. But then, three years later, in some other town, with so tough troubles which caused me a breakdown, with no future, willingness to move on and almost with nothing to eat - one night, I saw bunch of books on the street and, for some reason, I eagerly bought Steppenwolf. It was the last money I had; it determined my future years in many ways and, probably, helped me survive. Now I hope you wont mind, but I'll be rude enough to call you an educated man with interesting memories and great taste for literature, just so I could recommend you one nowel which is...Well the best I've ever read. And I used to read more than 180 pages each day, for a long time. Please search for this masterpiece, I'm sure you'd be deepely touched and surprised www.goodreads.com/book/show/358846.Death_and_the_Dervish
Many young people have identified with this book. But it's about the dryness and disillusion of middle age, and that is truly terrifying - more so than the angst of young adulthood.
I loved reading Steppenwolf as a young teenager. I still remember finding it, in that eeriely quiet and empty library. aaahh! truly it was love at first sight! leaning back, outwards extending lounging slipping backwardssssssslowly but I snatched that beautiful books' snatch n nowimndu got dat snatch dat wet soggy snatch and boy, it was love at first sight, I swear!
I'm really trying to enjoy this book. I find it very hard to follow and concentrate to what I'm listening to. It still works well in putting me to sleep as I play it at night next to my bed. Around 3 hours into, starting to get more interesting My book mark 4:00:00
"Like all men Harry believes that he knows very well what man is and yet does not know at all, although in dreams and other states not subject to control he often has his suspicions. If only he might not forget them, but keep them, as far as possible at least, for his own. Man is not by any means of fixed and enduring form (this, in spite of suspicions to the contrary on the part of their wise men, was the ideal of the ancients). He is much more an experiment and a transition. He is nothing else than the narrow and perilous bridge between nature and spirit. His innermost destiny drives him on to the spirit and to God. His innermost longing draws him back to nature, the mother. Between the two forces his life hangs tremulous and irresolute. "Man," whatever people think of him, is never anything more than a temporary bourgeois compromise. Convention rejects and bans certain of the more naked instincts, a little consciousness, morality and debestialization is called for, and a modicum of spirit is not only permitted but even thought necessary. The "man" of this concordat, like every other bourgeois ideal, is a compromise, a timid and artlessly sly experiment, with the aim of cheating both the angry primal mother Nature and the troublesome primal father Spirit of their pressing claims, and of living in a temperate zone between the two of them. For this reason the bourgeois today burns as heretics and hangs as criminals those to whom he erects monuments tomorrow."
God how tiresome it is to be observed by someone. I would know, because in my family there are some of these germans that only care what coat you wear, "wishes to leave their tiny personality out of the picture" and still, hypocritically, think they're important, screenworthy🤳 B-boy 🖤
The reader, Peter Weller, starred as William Burroughs in David Cronenberg's 1992 film Naked Lunch based on Burroughs' novel of the same name. I liked his reading of Steppenwolf although I question his pronunciation of "Hermine" as Her-my-knee instead of Her-mee-nuh, closer to the German pronunciation. I'd like to hear him read classic, hard-boiled detective novels by Dashiell Hammet or Raymond Chandler; he has the perfect voice for that genre of literature.
it's not a foreword, it's the nephew of the landlady that the main character rents a room from, introducing the main character from a 3rd person narrative

I like the voice of the other audiobook. Funny how voice changes it. This one feels Goth and entangled, the other modern and straight up, clear.
One of my favorite all time books. The reviews do it very little justice just gotta read or listen to it for yourself
Amazing! Robocop narrates.

??? why so much foreword? Where is the story beginning?
So the editor's preface and journals are the story

it's not a foreword, it's the nephew of the landlady that the main character rents a room from, introducing the main character from a 3rd person narrative
