Set in the time of Buddha, the novel follows Siddharta, a young Brahmin who, dissatisfied with the inherited doctrine, embarks on a journey in search of enlightenment.

Ideal for readers interested in spirituality, Eastern philosophy and classic novels of self-knowledge.
Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-Swiss poet and novelist, and winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize in Literature. His interest in Eastern religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions, combined with his involvement with Jungian analysis, helped shape his literary work. His best-known novels include Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality.
