Representaion Concering Books Beneath the Wheel

In Hermann Hesse's Beneath the Wheel or The Prodigy, Hans Giebenrath 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 tireless 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.

Article Epithetical Books Beneath the Wheel

This is only Hesse's second novel and not his best. It is somewhat autobiographical and, like many of the author's novels, is a tale of a young man's disillusionment, rebellion and self-discovery. My notes on the book from the time of reading summarize it as follows: "Raised without a mother and crushed by the ordered, competitive, masculine world's expectations. The destruction of a young spirit."

I am from the sturm und drang school of life. I can only read a Hesse novel with Mahler playing in the background. The more angst, the better. Give me irrational anguish, sorrow, torment. In college, I carried Hesse novels under my arm the way super-Christians carry their Bibles like five day pads. Agony and gloom where never far. And I was of the opinion Hans Giebenrath was my autobiography. Contemporaries were raging against the system screamed copies of Catcher in the Rye, while I opted for a

To be honest, this was probably the first book I had to read for school that I really enjoyed. It actually had something to do with students and school which is why I was interested to read it.I loved the tragedy and the idea behind the story.I could even connect to Hans and his situation and felt truly sorry for him. The only thing that bothered me was the overly descriptive deciption of the nature and the surroundings; these parts were rather boring to read.

from The Book Hooligan"For he was aware that in the academy he would have to be even more ambitious if he wanted to outstrip his new fellow students. Why did he want to surpass them actually? He didn't really know himself." - NarratorI was raised believing that education and blind respect for authority are two of the most important things that I child should value. I studied for the sake of moving on to the next level of education with a good school. At that time, academic growth was more valued

The story of a young boy seeking a false ideal.His motivation of being the first of the school in study fade away and he find himself with a life of no content and point.It's so simple as a book and short but interesting and humanistic enough.I give it a 4 star!

Unterm Rad = Beneath the Wheel, Hermann Hesse***spoiler alert***Beneath the Wheel is the story of Hans Giebenrath, a talented boy sent to a seminary in Maulbronn. His education is focused completely on increasing his knowledge, and neglects personal development. His close friendship with Hermann Heilner, a less academically assiduous and more liberal fellow student, is a source of comfort for Hans. Heilner is expelled from the seminary, and Giebenrath is sent home after his academic performance

This was Hesse's first major novel and in many ways sets up his most important themes. The fact that people see criticisms of today's schooling system in America in this book, actually written about a far different educational system, speaks in some ways to the universality of its message but it also speaks to its fundamental shallowness. "Glass Bead Game" and to some extent "Narcissus and Goldmund" have much better presentations of these themes. Then again, maybe if I read this one first, I
