Commentary As 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.

So, me, an English teacher of little bildungsroman adolescents moving from childhood to adulthood, in the present time where we are all embracing of individuality and art, a nature lover and a lover of small town life, I at once agree with the beauty and message of

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 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

Truly exceptional.

My goal for 2020 - re-read every single Hesse book I'd read as a kid....two down, few dozen to go.

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.Wow. This book really touched something within my soul. You know the feel when you read something and it just resonates with you and it makes you feel things? Yeah. That was this book for me.

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
