«Siddhartha» is the philosophical novel by Hermann Hesse, published by Edhasa in paperback (158 pages, in Spanish).
Set in ancient India, it narrates the spiritual quest of Siddhartha, a young man who leaves his home to try different paths: the contemplative life, worldly pleasures and commerce. Disillusioned and on the brink of despair, he reaches a river where a singular sound opens the door to a deeper understanding of existence, suffering and wisdom.
The work was originally published in 1922 as «Siddhartha: Eine indische Dichtung»; this edition belongs to the Colección Edhasa Literaria and features a translation by Juan José del Solar.
Of interest to those who enjoy coming-of-age novels, spiritual reflection and classics of German literature.
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.
