About this book

Set in India during the age of the Buddha, Hesse's luminous novel follows a young Brahmin named Siddhartha who leaves home to search for enlightenment on his own terms. He tries the harsh discipline of the wandering ascetics, then the pleasures and riches of the world, and finds that neither answers the questions that drive him. Only late in life, learning to listen beside a river with a humble ferryman, does he begin to sense the unity of all things. Written with a calm, almost meditative simplicity, the book has spoken to generations of readers seeking their own path. This free PDF and EPUB edition brings the classic to new readers.
