'A subtle distillation of wisdom, stylistic grace and symmetry of
form' Sunday Times 'It's hard to think of a more recent novel that
has sung so eloquently the joys of being alone' Guardian An
inspirational classic from Nobel Prize-winner Hermann Hesse,
Siddhartha is a beautiful tale of self-discovery Dissatisfied with
the ways of life he has experienced, Siddhartha, the handsome son
of a Brahmin, leaves his family and his friend, Govinda, in search
of a higher state of being. Having experienced the myriad forms of
existence, from immense wealth and luxury to the pleasures of
sensual and paternal love, Siddhartha finally settles down beside a
river, where a humble ferryman teaches him his most valuable lesson
yet. Hermann Hesse's short, elegant novel, echoing the life of the
Buddha, has been cherished by readers for decades as an
unforgettable spiritual primer. A tender and unforgettable moral
allegory, it is an undeniable classic of modern literature. Part of
