Sinopse

Hardcover edition of the classic work by Herman Hesse, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Siddhartha is a philosophical novel that celebrates the search for wisdom and is inspired by the life of Siddhartha Gautama, founder of Buddhism.

Siddhartha , like other works by Hermann Hesse, is an unforgettable work. The result of a trip to India in 1911, it was published eleven years later, in 1922.

Siddhartha is a rebellious spirit who followed Buddha's teachings, remaining true to his own soul. But, like other heroes of this Nobel Prize winner in Literature, it's not just about devotion. It distills high doses of Western anguish in the confrontation between individualism and the ideals of enlightenment.

In search of true happiness, the son of Brahmins, favored by appearance, intelligence, and charisma, becomes an ascetic. To this end, he follows a tortuous path that leads him, through a sensual love affair with a courtesan, from temptation to self-understanding.

Hesse's harmonized sensitivity to universal themes made him a countercultural touchstone and a precursor to enduring questions. A visionary, the author was a pioneer of Eastern mysticism long before the 20th-century rush to Eastern gurus.

This lyrical novel, based on Buddha's youth, retains the magic of the German writer – consecrated and worshipped not for offering answers to dilemmas or easy formulations for afflictions, but for weaving engaging universes and plots full of empathy, always pointing to the human being's capacity for sublimation in the search for his essence.
