Siddhartha

Siddhartha, the son of a wealthy Indian Brahmin, gives up a life of privilege and comfort to search for spiritual wisdom. His journey leads him among wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, and to the courtesan Kamala and a quiet ferryman. Through love, work, friendship, and fatherhood, he learns to look for wisdom within. Hermann Hesse's 1922 novel blends Eastern religion and Western individualism into one man's search for meaning.
