SynopsisHermann Hesse' s classic novel "Siddhartha" has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers. Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book' s debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hesse' s time, synthesizing disparate philosophies- Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism- into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man' s search for meaning. It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life' s vital passages- love, work, friendship, and fatherhood- Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within. Susan Bernofsky' s magnificent new translation brings out Hesse' s inspired lyricism and his elegant, melodious cadences, illuminating the novel' s universal themes and timeless wisdom about the human condition. This original Modern Library edition includes a lively new Introduction by Tom Robbins and a glossary of Indian terms., The classic novel of a quest for knowledge that has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers--a perennial favorite for graduation gifts.
