Siddhartha

Book Description:

Siddhartha is Hermann Hesse’s lyrical and deeply spiritual novel about the journey of self-discovery and inner awakening. Set in ancient India, it follows the life of Siddhartha, a Brahmin’s son who sets out in search of enlightenment — not through doctrine or asceticism, but through personal experience.

Along his path, Siddhartha encounters wealth, love, suffering, and solitude, gradually learning that true wisdom cannot be taught but must be lived. Influenced by Eastern philosophy and infused with poetic clarity, Siddhartha is a timeless meditation on the nature of existence, the illusion of ego, and the universal quest for peace and understanding.
