EDITORIAL REVIEW:
This classic novel of self-discovery has inspired generations of seekers. With parallels to the enlightenment of the Buddha, Hesses Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmns quest for the ultimate reality. His quest takes him from the extremes of indulgent sensuality to the rigors of ascetism and self-denial. At last he learns that wisdom cannot be taughtit must come from ones own experience and inner struggle. Steeped in the tenets of both psychoanalysis and Eastern mysticism, Siddhartha presents a strikingly original view of man and culture, and the arduous process of self-discovery that leads to reconciliation, harmony and peace.
