«Bajo las ruedas» is the novel by German writer Hermann Hesse, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
It tells the story of Hans Giebenrath, a gifted young man who, pressured by parents and teachers, sacrifices his childhood to enter a seminary. Academic success increasingly isolates him and leads to a personal crisis: a recreation of adolescence and a critique of educational systems that crush imagination and emotional balance.
Original work: «Unterm Rad» (1906). Translation by Genoveva Dieterich; collection Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo, number 75.
For readers of classics and coming-of-age novels, and for those seeking a story about adolescence and academic pressure.
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.
