Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

This classic of twentieth-century literature chronicles the spiritual evolution of a man living in India at the time of the Buddha-a tale that has inspired generations of readers. We are invited along on Siddhartha's journey, experiencing his highs, lows, loves, and disappointments along with the beauty and intricacies of the mind, the natural world, and everything he encounters on the path to enlightenment.

Sherab Ch dzin Kohn's flowing, poetic translation conveys the philosophical and spiritual nuances of Hesse's text, paying special attention to the meditative experience. The introduction to this edition explores Hesse's own spiritual journey as evidenced in his journals and personal letters and the wide-ranging impact Siddhartha has had, and continues to have, on American culture.
