Siddhartha -- Hermann Hesse

This classic novel of self-discovery has inspired generations of seekers. With parallels to the enlightenment of the Buddha, Hesse's <i>Siddhartha</i> is the story of a young Brahmin's quest for the ultimate reality. His quest takes him from the extremes of indulgent sensuality to the rigors of ascetism and self-denial. At last he learns that wisdom cannot be taught -- it must come from one's own experience and inner struggle. Steeped in the tenets of both psychoanalysis and Eastern mysticism, <i>Siddhartha</i> presents a strikingly original view of man and culture, and the arduous process of self-discovery that leads to reconciliation, harmony, and peace.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Hermann Hesse<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dover Publications<br><b>Published:</b> 12/23/1998<br><b>Pages:</b> 112<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.20lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.80h x 4.90w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780486406534<br><b>Age Range:</b> 14-UP<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 7.1<br><b>Point Value:</b> 6<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>8672 / Siddhartha (English)<br><p></p>
