This book will change the way you think about life, religion, and intellect. Siddhartha is the son of a rich and holy man, but he gives up his life of privilege to seek out enlightenment. In order to reach his peak however, he must first sink as low as possible. His only means of finding enlightenment lie in his three talents. "I can think. I can wait. I can fast." — Krysta Piccoli

Description


Herman Hesse was a German-Swiss poet, painter and novelist. In 1946 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He is most noted for Steppenwolf, Siddhartha and The Glass Bead Game. Siddhartha was written in 1922 and showed his love of the Indian culture and Buddhist philosophy. Siddhartha returned to popularity in the 1960's due in part to the counterculture mood in the hippie movement and the novel's themes of a quest for enlightenment.
