	Peter Camenzind
		Peter Camenzind is the novel that ensured Hermann Hesse’s early literary reputation.
		Born into a Swiss village, Peter Camenzind is a introverted peasant boy who becomes a student at Zurich University where he is soon destined for some minor academic post.
		Yet he does not choose this path; perturbed by what he perceives to be the thankless and turbulent unrest of human nature, Peter Camenzind instead seeks his salvation through self-knowledge in the manner of a Romantic hero.

		Peter Camenzind, the restless, insatiable wanderer of H.'s first novel, is a sensitive man whose consciousness seeks to assert and articulate itself in the feeling of a precarious connection to the world.
		Camenzind is the prototype of what later became a relatively standard character in H.'s works: the struggling artist who finds fulfillment in tbe experience of life rather than in his art.
		Nature was his childhood wonderland and his boyhood playground; she became for him the refuge she is for his Peter Camenzind, and the source of solace and spiritual rejuvenation she is for his St. Francis of Assisi; her ephemeral beauty was a poignant reminder of man's mortality, and her authenticity exemplified H.'s conception of self-will.

		Heilner is similar to Richard from "Peter Camenzind", except that he does not "die" here.
		Although I find "Peter Camenzind" more interesting as a novel, "Unterm Rad" is more well written and developed than "Peter Camenzind" which comes across as fragmented and incomplete.

	Peter Camenzind by Herman Hesse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In his first successful novel Hermann Hesse relates the story of Peter Camenzind, from his childhood in a remote mountain village to student life in Zurich, restless wanderings in Italy, dreams, encounters and infatuations.
		Notes of melancholy and lyricism run through the writing; it is sublime in its evocation of the yearning and introspection, the glow and torment, of youth.
		Looking back in 1951, Hesse described his Camenzind as a youth who undergoes the 'halb tapfere, halb sentimentale Revolte Rousseaus' through which he becomes a writer.

		Determined by the age of 13 "to be a poet or nothing," Hesse at first wrote derivative, romantic poems and stories of little merit.
		In his earliest novels, Peter Camenzind (1904) and Beneath the Wheel (1906), which expressed his long-smoldering resentment of his pious and repressive upbringing, he pulled himself out of the rut and won success.
		The first phase of his writing, which began with the neoromantic treatment of the artist as a social outcast, ended with the realistic Rosshalde (1914).

	A winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature:
		Hesse, more than any other writer in the 20th century, had a remarkable ability to remember the anxieties, idealism and passions of youth and to express that experience in his short stories, poems and novels.
		From his earliest "hit", Peter Camenzind (1904) through such other novels with special appeal to youth such as Unterm Rad, Der Steppenwolf, or Demian (originally published under the pen name, Emil Sinclair), Hesse touched ever widening circles of readers.
		From the publication of Peter Camendzind (age 27) and for the remainder of his life he was able to make a living from his writing.

	RESUME
		PETER CAMENZIND by Hermann Hesse (1968) (Nobel Prize, 1947) BENEATH THE WHEEL by Hermann Hesse (1969)
		I had been to the Gruppe 47 meeting in Princeton, I had done a long interview with Peter Weiss that was published in Partisan Review, my friend Fred Seidel and I had given a big party for Peter Weiss.
		At Princeton, sitting next to a famous Spiegel reporter, I heard Peter Handkes critique, and it subsequently surprised me that something that would have been considered pretty normal in an American creative writing class became a cause celebre.
