Displeased with his mundane existence, Siddhartha, a young man from Kapilvastu, embarks, with his chum Govinda, on a spiritual journey to become a Samana. The journey leads them to Gotama Buddha, the Enlightened One. While Govinda cedes to Buddha s teachings, Siddhartha does not. He feels something missing in Buddha s enlightenment and carries on. He still has to undergo a greater ordeal before he attains Nirvana.
Reading Siddhartha has been rewarding to many in their spiritual quest. This simple, yet complex tale is Hermann Hesse s greatest masterpiece.

Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) was a German Swiss writer, poet and painter. One of the towering literary figures who helped shape the 20th century, Hesse wrote many great novels including Siddhartha, an allegorical tale on Buddha. A widely travelled man, he also had a deep knowledge on Christianity, Buddhism, philosophy and theosophy and these influences played an important role to give him a unique style which still remains unparalleled. Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946.
