About this product

Product Information

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book's debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse's time, synthesizing disparate philosophies-Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism-into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for meaning. It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life's vital passages-love, work, friendship, and fatherhood-Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within.

    Amazing book changed my life

    My girlfriend's favorite book. She recommended it to me because she believed (back then) that I was too much like the main character Siddhartha. I read the book, got the message and decided to change my life. The story is amazing and character development is magnificent. You have to read it at least once in your life.

  • If you only read one book this year, make it Siddhartha

    Hermann Hesse absolutely nailed it with this book. Anyone who is interested in getting to know themselves better should read. It's only about 150 pages, easy read a few hours here and there, but even one page will consume a reader. It's short, but incredibly thorough. There's more to life than any of us really know and Hesse did a great job in sharing that realization through Siddhartha.

  • GOOD BOOK

    This book follows a spiritual journey of the lead character through four stages of life: a Brahmin’s son, an aesthetic in the woods, a merchant/gambler, and finally a wise ferryman. In the end, the wisdom reached by the titular character is a hybrid of Buddhist and Hindu teachings. I absolutely loved this book in college and have been drawn back to read it several times since. My recent mature reading was the least satisfying. The end particularly troubled me. The complete selfishness of this supposed wise man truly renders him a stunted hero. I noticed several morally problematic scenes that are not well answered in the novel. For example, the Ferryman tells Siddhartha that his 12 year old son can fend for himself in the forest and world. Even in the world Hesse has constructed here, ...

  • 4 stars for me but still highly recommend for spirituality.

    Very interesting book, I will definitely have to do more reading even after being done with it to truly grasp the message it’s trying to tell. That being said the book is very abstract and contains plenty to think about.

  • Wish I had read this 20 years ago. Definitely handing this one down to others...

    One of the great books a person can read. Takes such a little investment in time but the return is so much greater...
