Siddhartha is an allegorical novel by Hermann Hesse which deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian boy called Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha.From the start of Siddhartha's journey, he seeks personal transformation. He joins the ascetics, visits Gotama, embraces his earthly desires, and finally communes with nature, all in an attempt to attain Nirvana. Siddhartha knows that he will not attain enlightenment by following Gotama. The novel also shows how the path to enlightenment cannot be conferred to another person because it is different for everyone and will likely never be achieved simply by listening to or obeying an enlightened one. For words and teachings may describe the truth but are not the Truth itself; being concepts, they trap you, since enlightenment means release from concepts.

Siddhartha, de Hermann Hesse, es un libro revolucionario, en el sentido de que exhorta al lector a proyectarse en un viaje con el protagonista, hacia el encuentro de la verdad interior. Hesse, en su exquisita manera de narrar, nos aventura y nos sorprende, nos provoca a cuestionarnos sobre la naturaleza del ser humano, sus flaquezas y sus anhelos, y cómo éstos se integran en una espiritualidad compleja y rica.El personaje principal, Siddhartha, está situado en la India profunda, en la misma época del iluminado Buda. De manera paralela a los grandes ascetas de su tiempo, Siddhartha sale al encuentro de su propia sabiduría, cambia de rumbo constantemente, pero siempre nos atrapa por el caudal de las reflexiones que recoge a lo largo del camino.Hermann Hesse fue un importante escritor y pintor, nacido en Alemania en 1877, y ganador del premio Nobel de Literatura en 1946.¿Será Siddhartha el propio Hermann Hesse transfigurado en un personaje? ¿Seremos nosotros mismos reflejados en ambos? Sin duda, un libro transformador, tanto en su época, cuando fue publicado, en la Europa de 1922, una Europa de posguerra, necesitada de respuestas y vías que ofrecieran un rayo de luz en medio de tanta oscuridad. La posibilidad del ser humano recuperando sus motivaciones espirituales para existir, en esta mirada hacia el oriente y hacia el pasado, muy probablemente representó para Hesse una salida a tantas incógnitas existenciales que la guerra dejó en el alma humana.Recomendamos pues, esta excelente novela que desde la primera hasta la última palabra abre caminos, abre sendas del pensamiento, y que a través de esta edición cuidadosamente realizada por Holos Arts Project, se pone ante la mirada de nuevos lectores, que suponemos ávidos de narraciones con un alto contenido conceptual y espiritual.

This classic of twentieth-century literature chronicles the spiritual evolution of a man living in India at the time of the Buddha—a spiritual journey that has inspired generations of readers. Here is a fresh translation from Sherab Chödzin Kohn, a gifted translator and longtime student of Buddhism and Eastern philosophy. Kohn's flowing, poetic translation conveys the philosophical and spiritual nuances of Hesse's text, paying special attention to the qualities of meditation experience. This edition also includes an introduction exploring Hesse's own spiritual journey as evidenced in his journals and personal letters.

Hermann Hesse's moving and inspirational chronicle of spiritual evolution, Siddhartha, includes a new introduction by bestselling author Paulo Coehlo in Penguin Classics. Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922. Set in India, Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation. Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) suffered from depression, endured criticism for his pacifist views, and weathered series of personal crises which led him to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang; a process which resulted in Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse's subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930) and his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. Paulo Coelho was born in Brazil and has become one of the most widely read authors in the world. Especially renowned for The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes, he has sold more than 100 million books worldwide and has been translated into 66 languages. If you enjoyed Siddhartha, you might like Hesse's Steppenwolf, also available in Penguin Classics.

We are invited along on Siddhartha's journey experiencing his highs, lows, loves, and disappointments along the way. Always insightful and inspiring, Hesse begins the novel by showing us the life of a brahmin's son. Handsome, well-loved, and growing increasingly dissatisfied with the life expected of him, Siddhartha sets out on his journey, not realizing that he is fulfilling the prophesies proclaimed at his birth. Siddhartha blends in with the world, showing the reader the beauty and intricacies of the mind, nature, and his experience on the path to enlightenment. Sherab Chödzin Kohn's flowing, poetic translation conveys the philosophical and spiritual nuances of Hesse's text, paying special attention to the qualities of meditative experience.

A new translation of the classic novel first published in 1922 by Nobel Prize-winning author Hermann Hesse. Siddhartha inspired a generation of those seeking enlightenment in the 1960s and 1970s; this translation, written in simple, beautiful prose, is set to do so again in the restless, rebellious age that is the 21st century. Set in India, Siddhartha is about the individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality. In Sanskrit, "Siddhartha" means "he who has found meaning" or "he who has attained his goals." Handsome son of a Brahmin, Siddhartha leaves home to seek enlightenment. Joined by his friend Govinda, he becomes a wandering beggar, meditates, and renounces all personal possessions, but gains great wealth before being guided back towards enlightenment and his ultimate destiny by the words of a ferryman. A must for anyone seeking self-knowledge in today's materialistic world.

Quarto. 9 x 12.25 in. Unpaginated. Profusely illustrated with color reproductions of photographs. Fine in original black cloth boards and fine pictorial dust jacket. Text in French.

The story begins as Siddhartha, the son of a Brahmin, leaves his home to join the ascetics with his companion Govinda. The two set out in the search of enlightenment. Siddhartha goes from asceticism, to a very worldly life as a trader with a lover, and back to asceticism as he attempts to achieve this goal. The story takes place in ancient India around the time of Gotama Buddha.

In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of his life -- the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and, finally, wisdom.
