Publisher's Summary

In Siddhartha, Herman Hesse conveys a very profound message for all those who seek meaning in their lives. Though set in India, the concerns of Siddhartha are universal, expressing Hesse's general interest in the conflict between mind, body, and spirit. It is a story of a Brahmin boy who follows his heart and ventures out into the world to experience life as a pious Brahmin, a Samana, a rich merchant, a lover, and ordinary ferryman to a father - each life bringing a new awakening, bringing him closer to the truth until he is finally one with Buddha.

Thought - Provoking

Loved the narration. The voice suited the theme of the book.
The book in itself is a must read(or must listen) for anyone in the path of self exploration.

The essence of Sprituality explained very well

I picked up this book on the recommendation of my sister. An apt recommendation for answering some of my questions about the materialistic desires and if they have a place in the spirituality practice? Siddhartha is a well-written book that tells a story of a seeker of knowledge and the ultimate truth of this maya. If you are struggling to find the balance give it a go!
