Hermann Hesse follows a brahmin's son who walks away from everything familiar, the Buddha included, because he decides understanding cannot be taken second hand.
Siddhartha passes through asceticism, wealth, love and despair before settling beside a river with a ferryman, and the short chapters track what changes in him rather than what changes around him. This 224-page hardbound deluxe edition presents the English translation as one continuous read.
Reading notes:
• Hesse's spiritual novel complete in 224 pages
• brief chapters covering one life from youth to old age
• deluxe binding for a title that is often given as a gift
• English translation presented without added commentary
