Once the preferred marching song of '60s hippies, Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha has returned to its rightful high niche in world literature. This translation by Susan Bernofsky highlights the unblemished clarity of Hesse's tale of spiritual sacrifice and awakening.
"Siddhartha" is an allegorical novel-parable by Hermann Hesse, first published by the Berlin publishing house S. Fischer Verlag in 1922.
Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting the Buddha. His search leads him from post-degenerate life to asceticism, from the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, wealth and fame to a painful struggle with his son and the supreme wisdom of renunciation.
