| Book Summary |
| This classic novel of self-discovery has inspired generations of seekers. With parallels to the enlightenment of the historical Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, Hesse's Siddhartha is the story of a young Indian Brahmin's quest for the ultimate realitynirvana. His quest takes him from the extremes of indulgent sensuality to the rigors of asceticism and self-denial. After encounters with wandering ascetics, the famous Buddha Gautama, known as the Enlightened One, and his Buddhist monks, a courtesan named Kamala, and a ferryman, he learns that wisdom cannot be taught it must come from one's own experience and inner struggle.
Steeped in the tenets of psychoanalysis, Eastern philosophy, and mysticism, Siddhartha presents a strikingly original view of man and culture, and the arduous process of self-discovery that leads to reconciliation, harmony, and peace.

Hermann Hesse uses Pali and Sanskrit interchangeably.
Hesse incorporates the teachings of Hinduism in Siddhartha's life choices as a student, householder, forest hermit, and wandering ascetic.
