Beneath
the Wheel

compassionate novel of youth returns the Nobel Prizewinner to his
lifelong exploration of the duality of man’s nature. Hans Giebenrath,
the young scholar, is torn between self-affirmation and
self-destruction. His sense of creativity is awakened by a new friend,
but he is threatened by an educational system that encourages ambition
and crushes emotion, soul and instinct.”

Narcissus and
Goldmund
[religion,
philosophy] Bantam paperback,
first printing, 1971 – “Narcissus and Goldmund are two medieval men, one
content with his religion and monastic life, the other in search of

time.” (publisher’s description) [VG]

Siddhartha
[spirituality] Bantam paperback, 1971
– “A young man leaves his family for a contemplative life, then,
restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but,
bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair,
Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound
signals the true beginning of his life... a shimmering, iridescent tale of
spiritual quest.” (publisher’s description)

Steppenwolf
[fantasy, psychology, occult]
Bantam paperback, 1970 – “Hesse was one of the most daring
innovators in modern fiction. Writing in the existential tradition of
Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, he was one of the first novelists to make use
of the discoveries of Sigmund Freud. To these he added his own
far-reaching speculations of the supernatural. Steppenwolf is his
best-known work. It is a profoundly memorable and affecting novel.”
