We are invited along on Siddhartha's journey experiencing his highs, lows, loves, and disappointments. Hesse begins by showing us the life of a privileged brahmin's son. Handsome, well-loved, and growing increasingly dissatisfied with the life expected of him, Siddhartha sets out on his journey, not realizing that he is fulfilling the prophesies proclaimed at his birth. Siddhartha blends in with the world, showing the reader the beauty and intricacies of the mind, nature, and his experiences on the path to enlightenment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSherab Ch dzin Kohn's flowing, poetic translation conveys the philosophical and spiritual nuances of Hesse's text, paying special attention to the qualities of meditative experience.

He was the son and grandson of Protestant missionaries and was educated in religious schools until the age of thirteen, when he dropped out of school. At age eighteen he moved to Basel, Switzerland, to work as a bookseller and lived in Switzerland for most of his life. His early novels include \u003ci\u003ePeter Camenzind\u003c\/i\u003e (1904), \u003ci\u003eBeneath the Wheel\u003c\/i\u003e (1906), \u003ci\u003eGertrud\u003c\/i\u003e (1910), and \u003ci\u003eRosshalde\u003c\/i\u003e (1914). During this period Hesse married and had three sons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring World War I, Hesse worked to supply German prisoners of war with reading materials and expressed his pacifist leanings in antiwar tracts and novels. Hesse's lifelong battles with depression drew him to study Freud during this period and, later, to undergo analysis with Jung. His first major literary success was the novel \u003ci\u003eDemian\u003c\/i\u003e (1919). When Hesse's first marriage ended, he moved to Montagnola, Switzerland, where he created his best-known works: \u003ci\u003eSiddhartha\u003c\/i\u003e (1922), \u003ci\u003eSteppenwolf\u003c\/i\u003e (1927), \u003ci\u003eNarcissus and Goldmund\u003c\/i\u003e (1930), \u003ci\u003eJourney to the East\u003c\/i\u003e (1932), and \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Bead Game\u003c\/i\u003e (1943). Hesse won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. He died in 1962 at the age of eighty-five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 05, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Siddhartha (English)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47247626305785,"sku":"9781613823781","price":12.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/akZnb3IzRWtpU2xLSUFYYWFwOXdQUT09_7957a11f-0ceb-40ec-951c-5eabae90fd64.webp?v=1768626870","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/siddhartha-paperback-39","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
