Written in a prose of almost biblical simplicity and beauty,
Siddhartha is the story of a soul’s long quest for the answer to
the enigma of man’s role on earth. As a youth, the young Indian
Siddhartha meets the Buddha but isn’t content with the
disciple’s role. He must work out his own destiny—a torturous
road on which he experiences a love affair with the beautiful
courtesan Kamala, the temptation of success and riches, the
heartache of struggling with his own son, and finally, renunciation
and self-knowledge. The name “Siddhartha” is often given to the
Buddha himself—perhaps a clue to Hesse’s aims contrasting the
traditional legendary figure with his own conception. This new
edition of the classic Siddhartha includes The Dhammapada (“Path
of Virtue”), the 423 verses attributed to the Buddha himself,
which forms the essence of the ethics of Buddhist philosophy.
