It is not so much that it was a bad book, but it made me want to kill myself.

Vintage Hesse!
Sad story about an ambitious boy who slowly breaks down when facing the pressure of the adult world. While showing the catastrophic effects of a rigid educational system and of excessive parental expectations, it also hints at the responsibility of the young to get to grips with life and not just give up and drift along.
As important and relevant now as when it was written!

Unterm Rad = Beneath the Wheel, Hermann Hesse
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.
**Spoiler Alert**
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 decreases in tandem with the onset of symptoms of mental illness.
Back home, he finds coping with his situation difficult, having lost most of his childhood to scholastic study, and thus having never formed lasting personal relationships with anyone in his village.
He is apprenticed as a blacksmith, and seems to find satisfaction in the work; it is visceral and concrete, as opposed to the intellectual abstraction of scholarly pursuit. Despite some personal fulfillment in his existence, Hans never fully adjusts to his new situation. On a pub crawl in a neighbouring village, he and his colleagues get drunk. Giebenrath leaves the group to walk home early. Later, ...
¡°A soul that is ruined in the bud will frequently return to the springtime of its beginning and its promise-filled childhood, as though it could discover new hopes there and retie the broken threads of life. The shoots grow rapidly and eagerly, but it is only a sham life, that will never be a genuine tree.¡±

If you're an educator, you need to read this book. It's unfortunate that today's education crushes the individual spirit and is more about bubbling scantrons. It's all about money by the testing companies, no wonder most americans are clueless about our nation's history. Years of watching reality television and American Gladiators I suppose. Hesse is the best writer ever in my opinion, just his use of description is amazing in itself. I love the ending of this book. It is sad and beautiful. Hesse uses the eastern philosophy of yin and yang, when a young student meets his opposite at school a new world opens up. A must read.

2,5 siendo generoso.
Con mucho, la menos interesante de las obras que he le¨ªdo del autor. Es un aburrido y primitivo boceto de lo que m¨¢s tarde fuera Narciso y Golmundo (tanto estos como los protagonistas de esta historia, Hans Giebenrath y Hermann Heilner, son estudiantes del monasterio de Maulbronn), una pareja que encarna el enfrentamiento entre lo apol¨ªneo y lo dionisiaco y su complementariedad. Ni que decir tiene que los sentimientos del autor est¨¢n claramente del lado de Golumndo y de Hermann Heilner, un nombre este bastante sospechoso.
¡°Volvi¨® a despertar en su interior la ambici¨®n y el af¨¢n de los grandes cometidos, y al mismo tiempo le acometi¨® tambi¨¦n la dominante opresi¨®n en la cabeza que hab¨ªa sentido con mucha frecuencia durante los ¨²ltimos meses.¡±Posiblemente, parte de mi decepci¨®n se deba a que la novela es un suma y sigue de lo contado en su novela anterior: la historia de un individuo que, como aquel buen salvaje que fue Peter Camenzind, naci¨® diferente, dotado de una inteligencia y un genio impropio de los habitantes del peque?o pueblo donde ha vivido su familia desde tiempos inmemoriales¡ ¡°y con ello qued¨® decidido su destino¡±.
¡°Record¨® las burlas que le prodigaron por no querer tomar parte en sus juegos y en sus algaradas, por preferir el estudio a la holganza y la quietud al bullicio. Pero hab¨ªa alcanzado el premio merecido. ?Se daban cuenta aquellos est¨²pidos? Los detestaba tanto, que interrumpi¨® un instante su silbido para escupir con desprecio.¡±En ella se vuelve a hacer un canto a la Naturaleza y a los placeres que esta procura y de los que con frecuencia somos inconscientes espectadores embarcados en proyectos sin sentido; se exalta la amistad masculina y se denuesta la sexualidad y la relaci¨®n con las mujeres, cuyo inicio indica el fin de la ni?ez y de una felicidad que nunca m¨¢s volver¨¢; se ensalza la fe del carbonero, esta vez encarnada en el zapatero y puro beato pietista Flaig, y se sospecha de la raz¨®n y de la sapiencia conceptual que nos aleja de la humanidad; ¡
¡°Es la vieja lucha desigual entre la cr¨ªtica y la creaci¨®n, entre la ciencia y el arte, en la que aqu¨¦lla tiene siempre la raz¨®n sin que nadie saque de ello provecho y en la que ¨¦sta lanza al aire la semilla de la fe, del amor, del consuelo y de la belleza, hallando siempre la buena tierra donde fructifica. Pues la vida es m¨¢s fuerte que la muerte y la fe m¨¢s poderosa que la duda.¡±¡ y, en buena parte, es una cr¨ªtica a los sistemas educativos que intentan domar a los j¨®venes encadenando sus ¡°impulsos y las fuerzas primitivas de la Naturaleza¡± para hacer de cada uno de ellos ¡°un miembro ¨²til a la sociedad, despertando sus cualidades y propiedades hasta lograr que la instrucci¨®n y la educaci¨®n adquiridas lo envuelvan y lo transformen por completo¡±.
¡°Y as¨ª se repite, de escuela en escuela, el espect¨¢culo de la lucha entre la ley y el esp¨ªritu, y volvemos a ver siempre c¨®mo Estado y escuela se abstraen en la tarea de matar y desarraigar a los esp¨ªritus m¨¢s hondos y valiosos que brotan cada a?o. Y casi siempre suelen ser los m¨¢s odiados por los maestros, los castigados con mayor rigor, los huidos o los expulsados de las aulas, quienes despu¨¦s acrecientan el tesoro de nuestro pueblo. Algunos empero ¡ª ?y qui¨¦n sabe cu¨¢ntos? ¡ª se consumen en silenciosa terquedad y acaban por hundirse¡±La prosa sigue siendo elogiable, pero, siendo redundante con su anterior novela, la trama es mucho menos atractiva.

In Japan, this is one of the most popular title by this author, and like other teens who like reading, I read and loved it. It doesn't look very popular in the US . . . interesting.
A few other books I picked up in those days partly because my friends were reading them -- ah, the peer pressure! -- should I mention I was a top student? --were: , , , short stories by . . . lovely assortment, isn't it? We didn't know the existence of or .
School started this week, and I wonder what today's teens are reading.

Well that was fucking depressing
May 23, 2021
Cuando termin¨¦ de leer el libro, sent¨ª desconcierto y desilusi¨®n por la manera en que esta historia culmin¨®... La muerte de Hans Giebenrath.
Esto me lleva a pensar en el trasfondo para que este personaje llegara a tales extremos.
Un padre que junto al rector y las dem¨¢s personas involucradas en el asunto para que Hans pudiera entrar en el seminario, ejercieron en ¨¦l una presi¨®n, lo cual me hace reflexionar que era algo para cumplir sus designios, m¨¢s all¨¢ si realmente el alumno quisiera seguir ese camino para entrar en el seminario.
Hans era un alumno con mucha capacidad, no obstante, conforme avanza la historia te das cuenta que no se ve¨ªa completamente contento por ingresar al seminario. Aparte, a lo que aspiraba el muchacho no era realmente mucho, simplemente era salir del grupo de gente com¨²n que no llegaba a ser m¨¢s que aprendiz, mec¨¢nico, obrero y dem¨¢s oficios que se describen en la historia.
Es notorio el sistema educativo r¨ªgido que hab¨ªa tanto en el seminario como en su antigua escuela. Parec¨ªa fomentarse m¨¢s la competitividad entre los alumnos para llegar a ser el n¨²mero uno a toda costa, aunque por esta raz¨®n, se descuidaron otros aspectos de la vida de los alumnos, como fue la salud y el bienestar emocional, por ejemplo. Cabe a?adir que Hans ten¨ªa anhelos de jugar, de tener una pareja (que en este caso fue la relaci¨®n que intent¨® entablar con Emma), de formar lazos con sus compa?eros (como fue el caso de Hermann Heilner), y de escapar de las reglas impuestas por ¨¦ste sistema.
Por ¨²ltimo, me llam¨® la atenci¨®n el siguiente fragmento del libro:
Con esto me da la impresi¨®n que el padre de Hans estaba arrepentido por la rigidez y la severidad que lleg¨® a tener con su hijo, y por no haberle ayudado en otros aspectos de su vida que tanto necesitaba desde su ni?ez.

Underrated brilliance from Hesse about an insanely hard-working student who finally cracks like an egg and has to slow down and appreciate the world around him, even if it kills him. This kind of tale gets pretty trite very easily, but Hesse's Germanic Zen outlook defines existence in a marvelous and offbeat light.

This story showcases Hesse¡¯s brilliant prose mixed with his thoughts on life, aging, and love. In a story centered around a bright, gifted, yet timid boy Hesse shows both sides of the spectrum, celebrating the pain and sorrow along with the joys and surprises of life. The boy¡¯s tale is equally beautiful and tragic. He has extraordinary gifts that simply do not fit into the demanded ¡°one narrow path¡± of life for small town German students at the time. Unfortunately, he is crushed beneath the wheel like a cog in the machine, and the world does not benefit from his talents and vision. This boy was called to join in the higher realm of thinkers and people, yet due to the conditions of society he is unable to live this out. Perhaps a line where Hesse describes learning sums up the view of society and life just as well, ¡°Every day true scholarship seemed more beautiful, more difficult, more worthwhile.¡± In this novel Hesse shows life as beautiful, difficult, and worthwhile if one can overcome the obstacles presented by a society intent on suffocating dreams. The clear menace in this tale is the system of school, organized religion, and people who place their demands on students instead of letting them explore the world. Our protagonist is the victim, but the intended effect is that the reader take away this lesson and not join their ranks. Hesse still celebrates life and the poetry of every moment, and he viciously attacks those who suppress it in this tragic tale.
One question I had while reading this novel is whether or not adulthood itself is another enemy. The transition from childhood to adulthood is performed though love, which Hans experiences first through friendship, then through a hint of homosexuality, and then finally through heterosexual longing. The transition into adulthood opens the door to pain and suffering. Though love is beautiful, it is not clear in this novel whether or not Hesse thinks its beauty is worth the price of innocence lost. The passages describing Hans falling in love are absolutely stunning, however the cost of love remains unsettled. Is adulthood and love worth the pain of growing up? Hesse leaves this unanswered, which is a surprise in this novel. Another surprise is the passage about a homosexual experience and an unlikely person at the end of the book to accept any of the blame. There are questions open to consideration through a tale that describes the beauty of life through poetic prose. A damn good book, classic Hesse.
Quotes
It was possible to live in this town and give the appearance of being educated without knowing the speeches in Zarathustra. 5
Thus his future was mapped out, for in all of Swabia there existed but one narrow path for talented boys ¨C that is, unless their parents were wealthy. 5
In a single hour he introduced Hans to an entirely new approach to learning and reading. Hands received an intimation of what tasks and puzzles lay hidden in each line and word, how thousands of scholars and investigators had expended their efforts since the earliest times to unravel these questions, and it seemed to him that he was being accepted into the ranks of these truth-seekers this very hour. 47
Every day true scholarship seemed more beautiful, more difficult, more worthwhile. 47
It has occurred to many people while they stood on this square that it would be just the right place for the good life and happiness, for something lively and gratifying to grow, for mature and good people to think glad thoughts and produce beautiful, cheerful works. 57
Proud and praiseworthy feelings and high hopes swelled in their breasts and it did not occur to a single one of them that this day he was selling his child for a financial advantage¡it did not occur to any of the boys, nor to their fathers, that all this would perhaps not really be free. 65
¡°He realized that there are certain sins and omissions beyond forgiveness and repentance and it seemed to him that the stretcher bore not the tailor¡¯s little son but Heilner, who now took all the pain and anger caused by Han¡¯s faithlessness with him far into another world where people were judged not by their grades and examination marks and scholastic success but soley in accord with the purity or impurity of their consciences¡they realized for a fleeting moment how irrecoverable and unique is each life and youth. 94
Anyone with a touch of genius seems to his teachers a freak from the very first¡[a teacher¡¯s:] task is not to produce extravagant intellects but good Latinists, arithmeticians and sober decent folk¡among true geniuses the wounds almost always heal. As their personalities develop, they create their art in spite of school¡thus the struggle between rule and spirit repeats itself year after year from school to school. 100
He was like someone in love for the first time: he felt capable of performing great heroic deed but not the daily chore of boring, petty work. 103
Their faces displayed the whole spectrum of shadings between vanishing childishness and budding manhood. 106
Hans¡¯ thoughts and dreams now moved in this world to which he had been so long a stranger. He sought refuge from his great disappointment and hopelessness in a past that had been good to him. In those days he had been full of hope, had seen the world lying before him like a vast enchanted forest holding gruesome dangers, accursed treasures and emerald castles in its impenetrable depths. He had entered a little way into this wilderness but he had become weary before he had found miracles. 138
He stared at her with a mixture of unfamiliar desire and bad conscience. In this hour something broke inside him and a new, alien but enticing land with distant blue shores opened up before his soul. He did not know or could only guess what the apprehension and sweet agony signified, and did not know which was stronger, pain or desire.
But the desire signified¡the first intimation of the mighty forces of life, and the pain signified that the morning peace had been broken, that his soul had left that childhood land which can never be found again¡He must find his own way and be his own savior. 150
Fearful but shaken to the roots of his being, he felt the nearness of a great mystery, not knowing whether it would be delicious or dreadful but having a foretaste of both. 153
The pain and anger over this loss and the restlessness of his inflamed but unsatisfied passion came together in a single, agonizing confusion¡In this way he discovered ¨C perhaps too soon ¨C his share of the secret of love, and it contained little sweetness and much bitterness. 165

An English translation of my review can be found below.
Dieser Roman erinnerte mich daran, was ich schon in meiner Jugend an Hermann Hesse so verlockend fand. Er war ein wunderbarer Schriftsteller! Seine pr?zisen Beschreibungen sowohl des Innenlebens des ungl¨¹cklichen Klostersch¨¹lers Hans Giebenrath wie der widerspr¨¹chlichen Sch?nheit der physischen Umwelt, in der er zu Grunde ging, sind au?erordentlich. Die wundersch?ne Sprache des Romans ¨¹bt eine fast magische Wirkung auf den Leser aus.
?Unterm Rad¡° ist autobiografisch in dem Sinne, da? Hesse sich selbst in Hermann Heilner, dem besten Freund von Hans, darstellt. Hermann, ein sehr begabter aber aufr¨¹hrerischer junger Mensch, kommt in der repressiven Schule nicht zurecht. Da er es prinzipiell ablehnt, sich der Gesellschaftsordnung anzupassen, wird er entlassen.
Hans wiederum verk?rpert Hesses gleichnamigen Bruder, der wegen seiner eigenen Qualen Selbstmord begangen hat, nachdem die Schule ihn psychisch gebrochen hat. Im Roman wird Hans ebenfalls entlassen, aber haupts?chlich wegen seiner schlechten Gesundheit (schwindelerregende Kopfschmerzen), obwohl der Rektor es ihm auch ¨¹belnimmt, da? er unter den Einfluss von Hermann geraten ist. Aus beiden Gr¨¹nden kann er dem Leistungsdruck nicht standhalten.
Das Kloster Maulbronn, wo Hesse nach dem bestandenen Landexamen Latein gelernt hat und wo der Roman sich abspielt, wurde von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt.
Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es leicht nachzuvollziehen, wie Hesse in dem Roman das Bed¨¹rfnis hatte, sich mit der autorit?ren Erziehung in Deutschland des fr¨¹hen zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts so schonungslos auseinanderzusetzen. Seine Bildungskritik ist ¨¹berzeugend.
Lieblingszitat: ?Nur nicht matt werden, sonst kommt man unters Rad.¡°
----------------------
This novel reminded me what I found so compelling about Hermann Hesse in my youth. He was a wonderful writer! His precise descriptions of both the inner life of the unhappy cloister student Hans Giebenrath and the contradictory beauty of the physical environment, in which he perished, are extraordinary. The wonderfully beautiful language of the novel has an almost magical effect on the reader.
¡°Under the Wheel¡± is autobiographical in the sense that Hesse represents himself in Hermann Heilner, Hans¡¯s best friend. Hermann, a very gifted but rebellious young man, cannot cope with the repressive school. Since he refuses as a matter of principle to conform to the social order, he is expelled.
Hans, in turn, personifies Hesse¡¯s eponymous brother, who committed suicide because of his own torments after school destroyed him psychologically. In the novel, Hans is likewise expelled, but primarily due to his poor health (dizziness-inducing headaches), although the headmaster also resents the fact that he has fallen under Hermann¡¯s influence. For both reasons, he cannot handle the pressure to perform.
UNESCO has recognized the Maulbronn Cloister, where Hesse studied Latin after passing the state examination and where the novel is set, as a World Heritage Site.
Against this backdrop, it is easy to understand why Hesse had the need in the novel to deal with the authoritarian style of schooling in Germany in the early 20th century so unsparingly. His critique of the educational system is convincing.

Esta fue la segunda novela escrita por Hermann Hesse, maestro del Bildungsroman o novela de iniciaci¨®n. Aunque fue escrita en 1906, una ¨¦poca en la que la mayor¨ªa de los escritores j¨®venes iniciaban la b¨²squeda de nuevos caminos literarios, nuestro autor prefiere guiarse por el sentido acad¨¦mico, escribiendo con una limpieza y claridad notables, propias del siglo anterior. En este breve y conciso libro no hay experimentos ni artificios que pudieran complicar su lectura. No obstante, contiene la brillantez necesaria para convencer a todo aquel que busque una lectura estimulante y agradable que trate sobre las situaciones sociales y emocionales comunes a todos los seres humanos.
El protagonista es Hans Giebenrath, un jovencito pueblerino, sensible y solitario cuyo enorme talento para los estudios le permite so?ar con un futuro muy respetable. Por tanto, enfrenta la edad de la pubertad en medio de enormes expectativas; sus padres y profesores se hinchan de orgullo tan s¨®lo por tener en su familia o en sus aulas a este despierto muchacho. Desafortunadamente, las instituciones educativas, parec¨ªan no estar dise?adas para fomentar (ni siquiera tolerar) a genios en potencia, sino ¨²nicamente para formar "buenos ciudadanos" civilizados y obedientes (En realidad "buenos para nada" como precisa el mismo Hesse).
Lo curioso es que los lectores contempor¨¢neos comparamos y corroboramos que la problem¨¢tica sigue siendo la misma: a¨²n en nuestros d¨ªas seguimos formando peones en lugar de campeones del pensamiento. Adem¨¢s, los ni?os prodigio de la academia, las artes y los deportes, siguen llevando a cuestas una pesada carga de exigencias poco acordes con su edad. Sus tutores les abruman estimulando sus habilidades, pero olvidan ocuparse de su desarrollo emocional en fases de crecimiento cruciales. Si el ni?o tiene ¨¦xito, ser¨¢ a costa de su infancia lo cual ya es tr¨¢gico; pero hay algo mucho peor: si fracasa no ser¨¢ querido por nadie.
En una escena de esta novela, el director de la instituci¨®n educativa aconseja a Hans Giebenrath dici¨¦ndole: "No aflojes en tus estudios, de lo contrario caer¨¢s bajo las ruedas". Pues bien, veamos que significa esta frase que da t¨ªtulo a nuestra novela: En el idioma alem¨¢n quien se encuentra "bajo las ruedas" vive en una situaci¨®n de indolencia y fracaso. Se trata de una expresi¨®n similar a la de la "piedra rodante" del idioma ingl¨¦s, o la del "vago sin oficio ni beneficio" del idioma castellano y dentro de esta despreciable posici¨®n de vulnerabilidad, la inercia de la sociedad terminar¨ªa atropellando al incapaz, malvado o fracasado que se colocara ah¨ª. Sin embargo, no es Hans Giebenrath qui¨¦n por su gusto o por sus errores se coloca "bajo las ruedas". Es el sistema represivo e insensible qui¨¦n lo pone en peligro de malograrse como ser humano.
La estructura de la novela es muy convencional presentando siete cap¨ªtulos, de los cuales los primeros cuatro presentan un estilo sorprendentemente pulcro y regular. La disgresi¨®n se presenta en el quinto cap¨ªtulo y entonces la historia da un giro ambiental y argumental que acelera el ritmo y nos prepara para el desenlace. El narrador en r¨ªgida tercera persona, da cuenta de los sentimientos m¨¢s ¨ªntimos del protagonista, pero (fiel al estilo antiguo) se mantiene distante e impersonal. Es el narrador ideal para qui¨¦n busca una lectura ligera y digerible pero de alta capacidad descriptiva.
Encuentro similitudes entre esta novela y "Jakob Von Gunten" de Robert Walser, escrita tres a?os despu¨¦s (La diferencia estriba en que el estilo de Walser es m¨¢s modernista y experimental), pues ambas novelas abordan el tema de la educaci¨®n "victoriana" que se empe?a en negar la existencia de un periodo intermedio entre la ni?ez y la vida adulta. Tambi¨¦n describen la problem¨¢tica emocional de los adolescentes recluidos en internados junto con otros j¨®venes de su mismo sexo; ante la ausencia de chicas, las inquietudes sentimentales de los alumnos tendr¨¢n que resolverse entre ellos mismos, lo que da lugar a una especie de homoerotismo. Sin embargo, con el tiempo los personajes terminan dando pie a su heterosexualidad (Hoy en d¨ªa la convivencia entre los sexos es m¨¢s temprana e integral, y permite que individuos descubran sus inclinaciones de manera m¨¢s natural). Tambi¨¦n encuentro similitudes con "Demian" novela que el mismo Hesse escribir¨ªa posteriormente y que representar¨ªa un paso adelante en su perfeccionamiento como escritor de Bildungsroman.
Desde esta novela temprana, el autor logra describir con belleza y profundidad sentimental el gozo y el sufrimiento de la vida. Sabe celebrar la existencia, el amor y el erotismo y logra lamentar de manera conmovedora la obscuridad de un alma afligida y la intempestiva frialdad de la muerte. Recomiendo "Bajo las ruedas" como un libro introductorio al formidable universo de Hermann Hesse ya que tiene todo para ser digerido y disfrutado por cualquier joven lector. Despu¨¦s podr¨¢ gozar de obras m¨¢s complejas como "El lobo estepario" o "El juego de los abalorios".
La traduccion al espa?ol de editorial Alianza (aunque ya antigua) sigue estando vigente.

Absolutely magnificent
November 18, 2019
Il toccante percorso di un'esistenza contesa tra il dovere filiale che imporrebbe un canonico e impersonale percorso esistenziale e la magia di un'adolescenza che si spiega fiduciosa tra sogni e aspettative. L'eterno lacerarsi di un cuore fanciullo che sembra ritrarre l'inquietudine principale di ognuno di noi, il timore di non riuscire a esprimer se stessi in una vita consona alla propria natura, il dolore di una lacerazione emotiva che smarrisce, la continua ricerca del s¨¦ che, condotta attraverso errati presupposti, condiscendendo, con l'ingenuit¨¤ dell'adolescenza, a chi, in realt¨¤, pretende d'instradare senza la necessaria propensione a comprendere, non pu¨° che condurre alle soglie dell'abisso. Un testo che fa riflettere e che introduce quella continua ricerca esistenziale che in Hesse ha trovato uno dei suoi pi¨´ fecondi cantori.

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."
December 25, 2020
3.75 The Prodigy, also known as Beneath The Wheel, is a book that scrutinises youth, the construction of the Self, and the challenges of life which may result in mental health issues, ergo, the book goes beyond a mere exploration or critique of the education system. Hesse¡¯s prose is rich, lyric, and evocative even though the plot does not have a convincing denouement.
The first chapters of the The Prodigy are strong; I especially enjoyed chapters two, three, and four, they felt real and they were elegantly and effectively written and also transmit great sentiment; alas, after Hans leaves the seminar and goes back to his town the story fails to keep me engaged for it feels somehow flat. I am of the opinion that there should have been two more chapters at the seminar for, besides Hans, our protagonist, there was not enough character development. Heilner, for instance, could have been a great character , yet he is not layered. I suspect that Hermann Heilner was meant to represent the rebellious kid we often find at schools, but, is that all there should be? What else is there about Heilner that makes him an individual so unique as to be admired and deeply esteemed by Hans? Hans neglects his own need for space and his scholarly ambitions partly due to his relationship with Heilner, which he places above all; yet, Heilner, does not reciprocate to the same extent. What does having Heilner in his life reveal to Hans that makes his focus change so abruptly? I found Hans¡¯s change in attitude a bit abrupt and inconsistent with his character. This theme needed further exploration.
We are told that Heilner is a genius but we never really know why. The children at the seminar were there because they had brilliant minds, however, the writing never offers a proof of it besides stating that the seminar was a school for privileged intellects. Further, based on the way the story unfolds in the seminar this could have been any other school in Germany; yet, the seminar was not meant to be ¡®any school¡¯ but an elite institution; and therein lies the issue with the narrative. We don¡¯t see, as readers, what is so special about the seminar that confers it it¡¯s great status.
In the The Prodigy, we know most characters superficially; some of them were too stereotypical. I prefer more nuanced characters and I did not find them in this book. I did adore Hans though and I would have liked to learn of these two characters: Flaig and Lucius.
After chapter five ends, the prose continues to be delightfully descriptive, yet that alone was not enough to keep me as invested as I was in previous chapters. The Prodigy has much potential, nonetheless, most of what happens after chapter five was unconvincing and falls flat. In fact, I would have preferred for the book to finish by the end of chapter 5 (which would have made it a novella), rather than to have all the chapters it did and have that contrived and tedious last chapter. The denouement was disappointing not because of the final event but because of how we got ¡®there¡¯.
The problem I see is that, Hesse seems to have lost inspiration precisely at the stage in which the story should have peaked; ergo, the story never fully blossoms. The book has some elements that hint that, by the time Hesse wrote this book, he had a rather manichaean view of the education system.
Overall, this is a good book but not a ¡®must-read¡¯. If you like Hermann Hesse then I do recommend The Prodigy but keep in mind that Hesse¡¯s Narcissus and Goldman is a superior book, thus more memorable. Do not expect The Prodigy to achieve Narcissus and Goldman¡¯s status.

We don¡¯t see, as readers, what is so special about the seminar that confers it it¡¯s great status.
In the The Prodigy, we know most characters superficially; some of them were too stereotypical. I prefer more nuanced characters and I did not find them in this book. I did adore Hans though and I would have liked to learn of these two characters: Flaig and Lucius.
After chapter five ends, the prose continues to be delightfully descriptive, yet that alone was not enough to keep me as invested as I was in previous chapters. The Prodigy has much potential, nonetheless, most of what happens after chapter five was unconvincing and falls flat. In fact, I would have preferred for the book to finish by the end of chapter 5 (which would have made it a novella), rather than to have all the chapters it did and have that contrived and tedious last chapter. The denouement was disappointing not because of the final event but because of how we got ¡®there¡¯.
The problem I see is that, Hesse seems to have lost inspiration precisely at the stage in which the story should have peaked; ergo, the story never fully blossoms. The book has some elements that hint that, by the time Hesse wrote this book, he had a rather manichaean view of the education system.
Overall, this is a good book but not a ¡®must-read¡¯. If you like Hermann Hesse then I do recommend The Prodigy but keep in mind that Hesse¡¯s Narcissus and Goldman is a superior book, thus more memorable. Do not expect The Prodigy to achieve Narcissus and Goldman¡¯s status.

Unterm Rad-Hermann Hesse
Tw for the book: mental illness, depression, suicide, death, sexual assault, alcohol
This book hurts. Especially as a student, moving closer to graduation. Having witnessed various effects of school on different types of students throughout the last 11 years in different school systems I think we all can agree that this book is in its vast majority still from importance.
It tells the story of the perfect student, Hans Giebenrath, who lives in a small town in the southern west of Germany. He does everything his teachers expect and want from and for him, people, including his very proud father, place their hope and project all their dreams onto this boy. From the beginning on the reader feels the pressure and I am sure a lot of people relate to it. Seeing him abandon all his interests and joy in his hobbies, his friends and family and just life in general was painful. He later on develops a, lets say special, relationship with someone, I want to keep this review spoiler free. But this ¡°friendship¡± was one of my favourite things in the book, it was so real and wholesome and especially painful, just like everything else.
The book follows him throughout the time span of about a year and the ending was not very surprising. Honestly, nothing in the plot was, because this is not what made the book captivating.
The writing was refreshing, clear, describing and kind of innocent. By innocent I mean the way mental illness, relationships, sexuality and alcohol were depicted. I kinda like this old German language, so many words and expressions I don¡¯t normally use, they just have a special vibe to them. Also nature played a great role, which was used well in my opinion. The writing style fits the story and does its job. Some expressions were so well chosen, I had to read them twice!
Now, should you read this book? I am convinced that its a good book, but not an easy one. Maybe don¡¯t read it when you¡¯re not well rn, when you¡¯re under pressure due to school as well (this is why I read it during my holidays) If you are someone that has the power to influence a student, the system itself, then please read it.
It is still from importance, it still shows how school as a system works, however, if you read it now, you (hopefully) will realise that a lot of things actually have changed to the better and they probably will continue doing so.
Also, near the end, it also shows the beauty of alternatives to the ¡°academic¡± way. (I don¡¯t mean dying by that lol) A lot of people are convinced that going to university is the only way, or that artisanry is somehow less valuable or primitive. My favourite character was Hermann Heilner! Bye:) let me know what u think if u read it!

This novel is Hesse's indictment of conventional Western education.
Hans Giebenrath is a gifted child and yet his spirit is broken by his parents and his school teachers who want him to be a 'success' without considering his health and happiness. This leads to tragic consequences.
Hesse says in the book that a schoolmaster would rather have a whole class of duffers than one genius...for his task is not to educate unusual boys but to produce good Latinists, mathematicians, and good honest fools. Hesse writes there's a perpetual battle between regulation and spirit and it's repeated in each school in turn and we continue to watch the State and school eagerly occupied in nipping in the bud the handful of profounder and nobler spirits who grow up year by year.
