Under the Wheel
$5.00$7.00
It is a novel that explores the suffering of a young man in a stressful society searching for himself and his personal orientations, where he faces a conflict between his individual ambitions and the demands of social life.
“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.

Prisoner of Heaven
$10.00After the shadow of the wind and the angel game, I ended my strange meeting with Carlos Zafon in the third part of the Tomb of Forgotten Books series in this piece that I read while trying to understand what was going on in his head, which wanted the prisoner of heaven to tell us the dark nights of Barcelona from the window of its prisons, that prison that embraced Martin for a long time and through which he excelled in writing The Game of the Angel, which was the hero of that novel David Martin and Isabella, and we got to know their end, which was not confirmed by the lines. The writer also explains that what we can consider a coincidence with us may be wisely studied and what we interact with with all honesty may be fake and obsolete as the first boot, the past is just images stuck in our heads and just a glance of it returns to expose itself, and opens new cracks in our hearts, pushing you to search and explore what the truth is and to what extent it can comfort you or in any proportion that may make you a wreckage between the legs, yet the search for it is The way of salvation,
