Paperback. Condición: Good. The Prodigy, originally dating from 1905, is Hermann Hesses's bitter indictment of conventional education.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In Hermann Hesse's Beneath the Wheel, Hans Giebernath lives among the dull and respectable townsfolk of a sleepy Black Forest village. When he is discovered to be an exceptionally gifted student, the entire community presses him onto a path of serious scholarship. Hans dutifully follows the regimen of study and endless examinations, his success rewarded only with more crushing assignments. When Hans befriends a rebellious young poet, he begins to imagine other possibilities outside the narrowly circumscribed world of the academy. Finally sent home after a nervous breakdown, Hans is revived by nature and romance, and vows never to return to the gray conformity of the academic system. Hans Giebernath, a promising young student from a respectable Black Forest village, feels stiffled by the dull uniformity of the academic system. Reprint.
