This edition contains the complete text of the original hardcover edition. Not one word has been omitted.

'Siddhartha' is a shimmering, iridescent tale of spiritual quest. It is a Nobel Prize-winner, Hermann Hesse's most famous and influential work.

In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a rive where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of his life - the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace and, finally, wisdom.

First published 1922.
