Siddhartha : an Indian tale

Hesse, Hermann 1877-1962 (Author). Olesch, Gunther. (Added Author). Dreher, Anke. (Added Author). Coulter, Amy. (Added Author). Langer, Stefan. (Added Author). Chaichenets, Semyon. (Added Author).

Summary: Siddhartha's life takes him on a journey toward enlightenment. Afire with youthful idealism, the Brahmin joins a group of ascetics, fasting and living without possessions. Meeting Gotama the Buddha, he comes to feel this is not the right path, though he also declines joining the Buddha's followers. He reenters the world, hoping to learn of his own nature, but instead slips gradually into hedonism and materialism. Surfeited and disgusted, he flees from his possessions to become a ferryman's apprentice, learning what lessons he can from the river itself. Herman Hesse's 1922 coming of age story parallels the life of Buddha and seems to argue that lessons of this sort cannot be taught but come from one's own struggle to find truth.
