Siddhartha

by Hermann Hesse

A young man's spiritual journey through ancient India becomes a timeless meditation on enlightenment, love, and the search for meaning. Siddhartha encounters the Buddha, experiences worldly pleasures and wealth, yet finds wisdom only through his own suffering and contemplation. Hesse's lyrical novella explores the unity of all experience and the individual path to understanding.
