Although somewhat obscure, Filip Filander[1] by Jörg Hagemann left me with quite an impression at the time I read it (I must have been about 14). Hagemann tells a story that reminds very much of Michael Ende (who wrote the Unending Story and many other excellent books) and tries to highlight the contrast between knowledge and wisdom (Wissen und Weisheit in German) and the importance of having a good amount of both (as opposed to fanatically only searching for one). That idea resonated quite well with me - and I'm still reminded of the book whenever I'm witness to an overly technical argument that leaves out other aspects (people, practicality, etc.).
