'A subtle distillation of wisdom, stylistic grace and symmetry of form' Sunday Times'It's hard to think of a more recent novel that has sung so eloquently the joys of being alone' GuardianAn inspirational classic from Nobel Prize-winner Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha is a beautiful tale of self-discoveryDissatisfied with the ways of life he has experienced, 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 immense wealth and luxury 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.
