“Hermann Hesse says about his novel Under the Wheel, his first product during the years of his intense literary development: “In the history of the development and personality of the boy Hans Geppenrat… I played to some extent the role of the debtor and critic of all those authorities that defeated Geppenrat and that almost defeated me personally at one time: school, religion, tradition and authority.” So here lies the problem that Hesse dealt with throughout his life: the search for human capabilities and the essence of art in a bourgeois era hostile to it. As for Thomas Mann, who had close relations with Hesse and read all his literary works, he said about this novel: “This shy, bold, dreamy and intelligent novel at the same time is full of legacies, intimate relationships, memories and privacy.
