Siddhartha – an Indian Tale by Hermann Hesse is about a son of a Brahman who in his quest for the truth rejects his father’s faith. His way is through asceticism, meeting with the Buddha, love adventures, and a secular life until he calms down and finally finds –enlightenment. In many ways, the novel is a poetic parallel to the life of the Buddha. The book, Hesse’s ninth novel, was originally written in German, in a simple yet powerful and lyrical style. It was first published in 1922 after Hesse had spent some time in India in the 1910s.
