Hermann Hesse, Katja Pelzer: Siddhartha (2018, Barnes & Noble, Incorporated)
English language
Published 2018 by Barnes & Noble, Incorporated.
Hermann Hesse wrote Siddhartha after he traveled to India in the 1910s. It tells the story of a young boy who travels the country in a quest for spiritual enlightenment in the time of Guatama Buddha. It is a compact, lyrical work, which reads like an allegory about the finding of wisdom.
It's a long time since I'd read Siddhartha, and obviously only in English, so this was a real treat. Quite lyrically told, wonderful characters, moving scenes, and some valuable words of wisdom.
