«Bajo las ruedas» is the novel by German writer Hermann Hesse, published by Alianza in paperback (169 pages, in Spanish).
A gifted young man, Hans Giebenrath, is forced by his parents and teachers into an exhausting preparation to enter a seminary. The novel shows how educational pressure and estrangement from his environment gradually alienate him, and criticises systems that repress imagination, sensitivity and the harmonious development of the person.
Originally published in 1906 as «Unterm Rad»; translation by Genoveva Dieterich. Part of Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo collection, no. 95.
For readers of German literary classics and novels with social and educational criticism.
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.
