"Beneath the Wheel", published in 1906, is a recreation of the world of adolescence, where Hermann Hesse formulates a critique of educational systems that limit imagination and integral development. The protagonist, Hans Giebenrath, faces pressure from parents and teachers to enter a seminary, achieving his goal at the cost of his sensitivity and emotional balance. This edition from Alianza Editorial offers a reflection on the loss of innocence and the search for identity in an oppressive environment.
Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-Swiss poet and novelist, and winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize in Literature. His interest in Eastern religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions, combined with his involvement with Jungian analysis, helped shape his literary work. His best-known novels include Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality.
