paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In a world where the most unconventional of ideas are often left banished to the dusty recesses of the bookshelf, we present to you Hermann Hesse?s "The Prodigy," a curious venture into the labyrinthine corridors of the human psyche. Published in 2000 by the illustrious Penguin?an imprint that seeming…ly aspires to make literary history not just palatable, but also sublimely quirky?this volume may just be the literary equivalent of a forgotten sock: intriguing yet slightly odd, and one that you can?t quite remember where you found it. One might wonder what compelled Hesse to tread this path at the turn of the millennium, a time when the world was grappling with Y2K panic and the burgeoning influence of the internet. Perhaps he anticipated a return to introspection amid the chaos, or perhaps he merely fancied a good old-fashioned existential crisis packaged neatly in an attractive cover. Whatever the case, "The Prodigy" is a testament to Hesse?s ability to peer into the human condition with a blend of irony and gravitas, leaving readers alternately bewildered and enlightened as they navigate through his prose. Expect the unexpected as you encounter a narrative that weaves together themes of genius, isolation, and the pursuit of self-knowledge with the deftness of a tightrope walker balancing precariously above a pit of existential dread. It?s a book that begs to be questioned?much like that peculiar uncle who shows up uninvited to family gatherings, spouting theories about the universe while you?re just trying to enjoy your dessert. One could spend an afternoon pondering whether genius is a gift or a curse, and whether we?re all just prodigal children wandering through the cognitive wilderness. Curiously enough, this tome thrives on the paradox of its title. "The Prodigy" may lead you to believe you are about to encounter a character endowed with extraordinary talent or insight, yet what you find instead might just be an exploration of mediocrity wrapped in a veneer of brilliance. Hesse, with his trademark philosophical musings, nudges at the edges of what it means to be a prodigy, inviting readers to reflect on their own notions of success, failure, and everything in between. It?s as if he?s asking: are we all prodigies of our own chaotic lives, or merely actors in a miscast play? As you thumb through the pages of this intriguing work, you might find yourself tripped up by Hesse?s lyrical style and somewhat cryptic dialogues, leaving you wondering if you?ve stumbled upon a profound revelation or merely a random collection of musings. It?s a literary expedition that can be both rewarding and perplexing, much like hunting for treasure in a junk shop only to discover a collection of mismatched teacups instead of the fabled silver goblet. Explore the fine line between genius and insanity. Unravel the threads of identity in a rapidly changing world. Contemplate your own "prodigy" status, whatever that may mean. Delight in the irony of reading about genius while sipping instant coffee. Engage in discussions with friends about what it truly means to "find oneself." Condition: This copy has seen better days, but like a well-worn shoe, it carries the charm of countless adventures. Pages may be dog-eared and the cover exhibit a few battle scars from its time battling the elements of a bookshop, yet it remains perfectly readable and capable of provoking thoughts that may or may not align with your own. Ideal for the curious bibliophile who appreciates the beauty in imperfections. So, if you fancy a book that offers not just prose, but a whimsical jaunt through the philosophical landscape of the 21st century?or if you?re simply trying to impress your friends with your taste in obscure literature?pick up "The Prodigy". It?s available at Crappy Old Books, where every title has a story, even if the story is just how it ended up in a second-hand shop in the first place. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE.
