<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Dissatisfied with the traditional Vedic way of life, Siddhartha, the handsome son of a Brahmin, leaves his family and his friend, Govinda, in search of a higher state of being. Having experienced the myriad forms of existence, from the wealthy and luxurious, to the pleasures of sensual and paternal love, Siddhartha finally settles down beside a river where a humble ferryman teaches him his most valuable lesson yet.

As part of the new editions of the Peter Owen Cased Classics series, this special hardback edition carries a dust jacket with false die-cutting of a lotus flower, while printed on the cover board is a striking work by British contemporary artist Andy Harper.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A subtle distillation of wisdom, stylistic grace and symmetry of form" --<i>Sunday Times</i><br><br>"A writer of genius." --<i>Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Hilda Rosner </b>translated Hermann Hesse's classic work, <i>Siddhartha</i>. <b>Hermann Hesse </b>(1877-1963) is counted among the leading novelists and thinkers of the 20th century.
