London, Martin Secker, 1929.
Originally published in German in 1927, the novel was preceded by a collection of poems titled The Crisis: From Hermann Hesse's Diary. Now a classic of international literature, in its time Der Steppenwolf was castigated by the Nazis as a corrupting force for its depiction of a disaffected outsider and his lapse into decadence and drug use.
First English edition, first impression; 8vo; 4pp ads at rear, some spotting early and late, bookseller's ticket to rear pastedown, publisher's black cloth, titles to spine red, top edge red, spine slightly sunned, with the price-clipped dustjacket, small paper repairs to verso at spine ends, spine panel slightly toned, foot of spine panel chipped with loss (not costing lettering), short splits to head of spine panel at folds, light creasing to extremities; an excellent copy in the rare dustjacket.
