Description & Specifications

Hans Giebenrath grows up carefree in a quiet village in the Black Forest. However, when his exceptional aptitude for learning becomes apparent, the entire community proudly pushes him onto the path of strict study and exhausting examinations. Hans follows this path with discipline and manages to enter the Maulbronn Seminary, where every success is rewarded with even more obligations. His friendship with his classmate Hermann, a free spirit, is his only comfort. But in the end, Hans breaks under the pressure…

Nobel laureate Hermann Hesse writes, drawing from his own school experiences, a timelessly relevant book about rebellious adolescence, the tragic failure of a rigid education, and the tyranny imposed on us by the dreams of others…

They wrote about the book:

As long as people struggle between the need to be themselves and the difficulty of achieving this, Hesse will remain alive — which is perhaps even better than being a great writer.

The New Yorker

The awarding of Hesse […] honors a poetic achievement that, as a whole, depicts the struggle of a person who follows his calling with rare faith.

From the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hermann Hesse in 1946
