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. Written 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.
