荒原狼 (Steppenwolf)

《评荒原狼》的小书，顿觉大梦初醒，认为自己就是一个"人性"和"狼性"并存的荒原狼。之后他应邀参加聚会，发现与会者都有狭隘的民族主义观点，而他的反战言论遭到斥责，更觉自己孤独；回家时他遇到酒巴女郎赫米纳，获得肉欲欢乐；经赫米纳介绍他又结识了音乐人帕布洛和一姑娘玛丽亚，他在音乐和感官享受中忘却了一切烦恼和忧虑。但当他看到赫米纳和帕布洛亲近时，便"狼性"大发，出于嫉妒将赫米纳杀死。小说幻想色彩浓郁，象征意味深远，被认为有"超现实主义"风格；托马斯·曼称它为"德国的尤利西斯"。（The author once encountered a book named Review on Steppenwolf, and got enlightened all in a sudden that he was a Steppenwolf with both the natures of a human and a wolf in himself. In a later party, he recognized that all participants around him were narrow nationalists. Denounced for his anti-war arguments, he felt more lonely; on his way home, he met a bar girl Hemina, with whom he fell into lust. Through this girl, he then came to know musician Pablo and a girl named Maria. Everything he had been worried about was forgotten in the enjoymentof music and sensual pleasures. However, when he saw the intimacy between Hemina and Pablo, the wolf nature in him burst out as jealousness to kill Hemina. Highly fantastic and symbolistic, this novel is classified into the "super-realistic"style, and called by Thomas Mann as "German's Ulysses".）
