This classic novel of self-discovery has inspired generations of seekers.
Considered to be a classic of 20th-century fiction, Hesse\'s most celebrated work reflects his lifelong studies of Oriental myth and religion..
Steeped in the tenets of both psychoanalysis and Eastern mysticism, Siddhartha presents a strikingly original view of man and culture, and the arduous process of self-discovery that leads to reconciliation, harmony and peace.
At last he learns that wisdom cannot be taught-it must come from one\'s own experience and inner struggle.
His quest takes him from the extremes of indulgent sensuality to the rigors of asceticism and self-denial.
With parallels to the enlightenment, Hesse\'s Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmn\'s quest for the ultimate reality.
