Stephenwolf Notes in Moscow

50+. "Ach, es ist schwer, diese Gottesspur zu finden inmitten dieses Lebens, das wir fuhren, inmitten dieser so sehr zufriedenen, so sehr bürgerlichen, so sehr geistlosen Zeit, im Anblick dieser Architekturen, dieser Geschäfte, dieser Politik, dieser Menschen. Wie sollte ich nicht ein Steppenwolf und ruppiger Eremit sein inmitten einer Welt, von deren Zielen ich keines teile, von deren Freude keine zu mir spricht?" -- from Hesse's Steppenwolf

About Me

My photo
Stephenwolf at large
People read mostly to find or forget their lives, works, selves... I found much of myself and life reflected in Hesse's "Steppenwolf", hence the blogname. (If you have not read his work from 1927, you perhaps wont fully understand the "angle" of this blog either.)
