<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Originally published: New Directions, 1951. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>The classic novel of a quest for knowledge that has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers--a perennial favorite for graduation gifts.</b> <p/><b>Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's <i>The Great American Read</i></b> <p/>Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book's debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse's time, synthesizing disparate philosophies-Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism-into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for meaning. <p/> It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life's vital passages-love, work, friendship, and fatherhood-Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within. <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Herman Hesse</b> was the author of <i>Siddhartha</i>, <i>Steppenwolf</i>, and <i>The Glass Bead Game</i>. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.
