Under the wheel. Gesse G.

We present to your attention the book “Under the Wheel” by Hermann Hesse

all his free time gifted and fragile boy Hans Pibyenrat devotes to study: he sits up to night for additional classes and home tasks, voluntarily refuses his favorite fishing and walks with Friends, and all for the sake of one goal - to pass the prestigious, but insanely complex "land exam" to the seminary. And now - the bar is taken, the exam was passed brilliantly, the father and teachers almost burst with pride. But along with the ambitious plans in the Hans, now a panic fear is growing to lag behind, to stumble. In a meaningless and merciless race for ghostly school successes, he gets more and more “under the wheel” of a soulless education machine, which destroys everything that it touches, from mathematics to the poems of Homer.
