Book Description
The story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the BuddhaSiddhartha is handsome, clever and well-loved, yet increasingly dissatisfied with the life that is expected of him. Setting out on a spiritual journey to discover a higher state of being, hisquest leads him through the temptations of luxury and wealth, the pleasures of sensual love and the sinister threat of death-dealing snakes, until, eventually, he comes to a river. There, a ferryman guides him towards his destiny and to the ultimate meaning of existence. Inspired by Hermann Hesse's profound regard for Indian transcendental philosophy, Siddhartha is one of the most influential spiritual works of the twentieth century.

He spent a short period studying at a seminary in Germany but soon left to work as a bookseller in Switzerland. From 1904 he devoted himself to writing. After a first volume of verse (1899), Hesse established his reputation with a series of lyrical romantic novels - Peter Camenzind (1904), Unterm Rad (The Prodigy, 1906), Gertrud (1910) and the short story, Knulp (1915). After a visit to India in 1911 he moved to Switzerland and worked for the Red Cross during the First World War. He was denounced in Germany and settled permanently in Switzerland, where he established himself as one of the greatest literary figures in the German-speaking world.
