Sinopse

One of Hermann Hesse's greatest works in paperback edition.

Siddhartha is a philosophical novel that exalts the search for wisdom and is inspired by the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. Siddhartha is a rebellious spirit, a follower of Buddha's teachings, faithful to his own soul. In his search for 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.

Siddhartha expresses the love and sensitivity of Hermann Hesse, winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize for Literature, for the Eastern culture, religion, beliefs, and philosophy with which he was exposed from an early age. Originally published in 1922, this work was the result of a trip to India in 1911.

A lyrical novel, acclaimed and revered not for offering answers to dilemmas or easy solutions to afflictions, but for weaving engaging universes and empathetic plots, always highlighting the human capacity for sublimation in the search for their essence. A reflection on the pursuit of wisdom that has enchanted generations.

Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962) nasceu na Alemanha, e naturalizou-se suíço em 1923. Contista, poeta, ensaísta e editor de importantes obras da literatura alemã, o escritor foi um adversário declarado do nazismo, e se posicionou firmemente contra a ascensão desta ditadura por meio de artigos publicados naquela época.

Em 1911, viajou para a Índia a fim de conhecer a vida no Extremo Oriente.

Em seus textos, Hesse procurou se manter fiel às tradições literárias românticas e clássicas. É autor, entre outros livros, de O jogo das contas de vidro, O lobo da estepe, Sonho de uma flauta e Narciso e Goldmund.
