Reviews
[A] Black Forest Catcher in the Rye , a work infused with that sense of homesickness that Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., quite rightly said was so prominent in Hesse's novels., Can be read for sheer pleasure. Hesse's peculiarly supple lyricism, his brittle irony, and his stunning descriptions of nature are marvelously carried over into the English., "A remarkable mixture of affection, gentle humor, compassion, light irony, bitterness, and cold, angry indignation." -The Sacramento Bee "Can be read for sheer pleasure.

Synopsis
In Hermann Hesse's Beneath the Wheel , Hans Giebernath lives among the dull and respectable townsfolk of a sleepy Black Forest village. When he is discovered to be an exceptionally gifted student, the entire community presses him onto a path of serious scholarship. Hans dutifully follows the regimen of study and endless examinations, his success rewarded only with more crushing assignments. When Hans befriends a rebellious young poet, he begins to imagine other possibilities outside the narrowly circumscribed world of the academy. Finally sent home after a nervous breakdown, Hans is revived by nature and romance, and vows never to return to the gray conformity of the academic system.

    Surprisingly decent packing, shipped relatively quickly. Keep in mind this is a goodwill center and they don't check to see if all the discs are inside so it ending up missing a disc when it got here, they gave me a partial refund on it, which is appreciated but before buying I would ask them to double check the item to confirm it's as described
