Reviews"The cool and strangely simple story makes a beautiful little book, classic in proportion and sty≤ it should be read slowly and with savor, preferably during the lonely hours of the night." -- The Nation "One could even hope that Hesse's readers are hungrily imbibing , and that they will be so wisely foolish as to live by it." -- Chicago Tribune "Hermann Hesse is the greatest writer of the century." -- San Francisco Chronicle "In the setting is Indian and we encounter the Buddha, but the author's ethos is still closer to Goethe." -- Washington Post Book World, In Siddhartha the setting is Indian and we encounter the Buddha, but the author's ethos is still closer to Goethe., The cool and strangely simple story makes a beautiful little book, classic in proportion and style; it should be read slowly and with savor, preferably during the lonely hours of the night., One could even hope that Hesse's readers are hungrily imbibing Siddhartha, and that they will be so wisely foolish as to live by it.

SynopsisWritten in a prose of almost biblical simplicity and beauty, it is the story of a soul's long quest in search of he ultimate answer to the enigma of man's role on this earth. As a youth, the young Indian Siddhartha meets the Buddha but cannot be content with a disciple's role: he must work out his own destiny and solve his own doubt--a tortuous road that carries him through the sensuality of a love affair with the beautiful courtesan Kamala, the temptation of success and riches, the heartache of struggle with his own son, to final renunciation and self-knowledge. The name "Siddhartha" is one often given to the Buddha himself--perhaps a clue to Hesse's aims in contrasting the traditional legendary figure with his own conception, as a European (Hesse was Swiss), of a spiritual explorer., Here the spirituality of the East and the West have met in a novel that enfigures deep human wisdom with a rich and colorful imagination.
