''Siddhartha' is Hermann Hesse's greatest novel, and perfectly expresses those aspects of his genius which have unique significance for contemporary readers. Written in prose almost biblical simplicity and beauty, it is the story of an individual's quest for the purpose of life.

Siddhartha, the son of a Brahmin, finds the Buddha, but is not content to serve simply as a disciple: he needs to work out his destiny for himself. He follows a tortuous road that leads him through a sensual love affair with a beautiful courtesan, the temptation of success and riches, and an emotional conflict with his own son, to final renunciation and self-knowledge.'

A great little book about meditation, peace and self fulfillment. Very heart warming and uplifting and I really enjoyed reading this.

Edit: Reserved for Nataliec

This was a lovely read. The writing feels simplistic but at the same time beautiful. It's not a theme I usually read but I found it very interesting.

Thanks for sharing the book Danielle and sorry for keeping it so long.

Now on its way to Nataliec7 (for the Already Bookcrossed VBB).
Happy reading!

Received today. Thanks Tsjara for the lovely tea and label also.

I liked this book. It was very easy to get into, and I lost myself within it. I enjoyed the rather simple language, what it was about, the characters and the feel of the book in general.

Travelling in my wrap it up Bookbox.

This wasn't chosen from the book box so is now back with me.
