Beneath the Wheel

A sad yet beautiful tragedy of Hans.
Beneath The Wheel is one miserable tale of how parents pin all their hopes on their child & how the the child succumbs to this burden of expectations.
There are many great writers but no one comes close to what Hermann Hesse writes. Sheer genius indeed. This is his fifth book I've read. Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Demian, Narcissus & Goldmund! Each book is a masterpiece! Still can't get enough of Hesse!

Why do I End up reading books where the main character is a young man, going mad or dying in the end?
