Siddhartha is Nobel Prize-winning author Hermann Hesse's most famous and influential work, a novel of self-exploration that will linger in your mind and spirit for a lifetime. A young man, blessed with loving parents and a safe home in a world where want and neglect abound, leaves this haven in search of himself. He joins the Samanas, a band of wandering ascetics without possessions or earthly ties. His quest unfulfilled, he descends into a life of unbounded luxury and indulgence. Where is truth? Where will his soul find true ease? In denial? In decadence? Or in some truth far greater than himself, so simple, so close to him, yet so obvious that only clear eyes may see it? Siddhartha reawakens questions most of us have long ceased asking ourselves and opens paths to spirituality many of us have never traveled. Translated by Joachim Neugroschel.

sounds like a very interesting listen, thank you for offering it in the VBB.
Read/listened for the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die Challenge.
Listened to these CD's on a long roadtrip. Sadly I did not experience a spiritual awakening from listening to the story of Siddhartha's travels. In some ways I found him a very selfish young man, who renounced his family to join a band of wandering shamanas, then later renounced the ascetic life to take up the cause of hedonism, then renounced that lifestyle when it no longer suited. Siddhartha spent his life searching for peace and nirvana but came across as a very unhappy man who couldn't grasp what was right in front of his face.
