Under the Wheel [Chinese]

By (德)赫尔曼·黑塞

This is a semi-autobiographical novel from Hesse's early creative period, recounting the tragic story of the gifted youth Hans Gippelrat as he gradually succumbs to the pressures of a strict educational system and societal expectations. Born in a small German town, Hans possessed extraordinary talent. Driven by the expectations of his family and teachers, he studied diligently and passed the state examination to enter the prestigious Maulbronn Academy. Sacrificing all childhood pleasures, he strove to fulfill his father's and teachers' hopes, becoming a "model student." Hans befriended the rebellious Hermann Heller, who championed freedom and despised the rigid educational system.
