From the Nobel Prize winning author of Siddhartha, Steppenwolf and The Glass Bead Game.
The Prodigy is the story of Hans Giebenrath, the brilliant young son of a provincial bourgeois in southern Germany who becomes the first boy from his town to pass into a prestigious Protestant theological college.
Also translated as Beneath the Wheel, The Prodigy is a classic novel from the oeuvre of Hermann Hesse, fascinating both for Hesse's humanist and philosophical insights into prescribed education and the novel's semi-autobiographical details.
"Written with deep sympathy . . . certainly makes you willing to read more of Herr Hesse." --New Statesman
"A gentle and insidiously persuasive plea for the flight from academicism and the re-establishment of the simple values of the workman's life." --Sunday Times
"It is unusual for a writer to begin with sincerity alone and to advance to a more complex apprehension of life without surrendering his pristine innocence. This has been Hermann Hesse's achievement." --Observer
