[edit] Does that book exist?

Harry is reading a 6 volume book called "Sopia's Journey From Memel to Saxony." Does this book exist? How do I find it if it does?

It does exists, it was written by Johann Timotheus Hermes at around 1770 and its German title is "Sophiens Reise von Memel nach Sachsen". It was a bestseller and very influential, thus modern editions still exit, but I don't know if there is a translation. 217.252.46.64 23:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the movie

IMHO the existence of the movie Steppenwolf (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072206/) should also be noted in this article, for the sake of completeness.

[edit] Useless Link

Is there any good reason why the following link was added to this page? Hermann Hesses's Steppenwolf By Wendy Koenigsmann Someone please remove it...it was a waste of my time.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Steppenwolf Cover(novel).jpg

Image:Steppenwolf Cover(novel).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Release date

Why is there in the article two different release dates:

• Released in 1927 and The novel itself was published in 1927.
• Publication date 1928 and [[Category:1928 novels]]

[edit] Mulholland Drive Reference

Does anyone have a reference for Mullholland Drive being an allusion to Steppenwolfe? I can't think of any definitive sign in the movie that it is. Dozenthey (talk) 03:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
