Richly philosophical and deeply reflective, Hermann Hesse's masterpiece Siddhartha is an exquisite addition to the Dover Bookshelf. The tale of a young Brahmin's quest for wisdom and spiritual enlightenment through divergent paths of material success, asceticism, self-denial, and love has inspired generations of seekers. Reflecting much of the author's own musings, this classic novel of self-discovery offers a profound exploration of beliefs about the oneness of the universe, the nature of time, the self, and the interconnectedness of human beings. In this hardcover collectible edition, Stanley Appelbaum's excellent English translation beautifully captures the novel's lyrical prose infused with psychoanalysis and Eastern mysticism, ultimately guiding the reader toward reconciliation, harmony, and peace-- nirvana.
