A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

Revue de presse

"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
