Siddhartha : an Indian tale  Cover Image Book Book

Siddhartha : an Indian tale / Hermann Hesse ; translated from the German by Joachim Neugroschel ; with an introduction by Ralph Freedman.

Summary:

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.
