Publisher's Synopsis
This novel, set in traditional India, recounts the life of Siddharta, a man for whom the path of truth passes through renunciation and the understanding of the unity that underlies all that exists. In its pages, the author offers all the spiritual options of man. Herman Hesse dived into the soul of the Orient in order to bring its positive aspects to our society. Siddharta is the most representative work of this process and has had a great influence on western culture in the 20th century. The true profession of man is to find the way to himself.
