his is the story of a
young man who leaves his home and family on a
quest for the Truth. Embarking on a journey that
takes him from the austerities of renunciation
to the profligacy of wealth. That leads him
through the range of human experiences from
hunger and want, to passion, pleasure, pain,
greed, yearning, boredom, love, despair and
hope. A journey that leads finally to the river,
where he gains peace and eventually wisdom. This
is the story of Siddhartha as told by Nobel
Laureate Hermann Hesse in his most influential
work.
