Siddartha

Siddartha

Hermann Hesse

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Herman Hesse's classic novel has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers. In this story of a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege to seek spiritual fulfillment, Hesse synthesizes disparate philosophies--Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism--into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for meaning.

    Simply but beautifully written, it is delightful to read! It’s philosophical exploration disguised as a story, but one delicately and deliberately crafted. I felt Siddartha’s triumph, confusion, and struggle at every juncture. One of my favourite pieces of fiction.
