Siddhartha, son of a Brahmin, leaves his home in search of truth and enlightenment. Between ascetic renunciation, the teachings of Buddha and the temptations of the material world, he undergoes a long inner journey. His encounters with Kamala and the ferryman Vasudeva bring him closer to understanding unity and the flow of the river.

For readers of classic literature and introspective narrative, with an interest in philosophy, religion and 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.
