Siddhartha

Description

Some time ago, there was a young man named Siddharta who left his home to begin his own journey of spiritual enlightenment. Set in the time of Buddha, Hesse’s Siddhartha explores philosophically relevant concepts such as the self, empathy, greed, and egoism. Our hero goes through one life changing experience after another, each of which adds more to his understanding than before. The nirvana that Siddhartha eventually reaches is not exactly what anybody would expect. This work serves partly as an introduction to Eastern ways of thinking, but it is so much more. It is an exploration of the self and everything else that comes with it. To Siddhartha, the one thing he never completely understood is himself. In all of his travels throughout the world, his dealings with business, and even in raising his own son, the one thing he was never able to escape is himself. The story focuses intensely on the issue of the self and how each of us forms a relationship to it. Do we only do things for selfish reasons, or is it possible to rise above our momentary desires to live a purely selfless existence? Is the real Buddha the man who claims himself to be the Buddha, or is the Buddha a kind old humble man who makes no spectacle of his identity? The ideas are still relevant today as every man and woman struggles to find peace with his or her own identity. It is a book for those who seek answers, but more importantly seek more questions in the unending journey of finding themselves.
