Unterm Rad by Hermann Hesse

"Unterm Rad" by Hermann Hesse is a narrative published in 1905. It follows Hans Giebenrath, a gifted young student pushed relentlessly by teachers and his father to excel academically. Isolated from peers and deprived of childhood pleasures, Hans enters an elite seminary where he befriends the rebellious artist Hermann Heilner. This friendship challenges Hans's carefully constructed world, leading to declining performance and psychological strain. The story explores how excessive educational pressure and rigid expectations can crush a sensitive young soul. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
