Siddhartha: (Dover Thrift Editions)

This classic novel of self-discovery has inspired generations of seekers. With parallels to the enlightenment of the Buddha, Hesse's Siddhartha 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, Siddhartha presents a strikingly original view of man and culture, and the arduous process of self-discovery that leads to reconciliation, harmony, and peace. This audio edition of Stanley Appelbaum's translation of Siddhartha is beautifully read by award-winning narrator Neil Shah, a listener favorite. Shah's repertoire also includes such acclaimed work as I Am an Executioner: Love Stories by Rajesh Parameswaran (Audie nomination), The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais (Soundcommentary.com Editor's pick 2013), and Stringer: A Reporter’s Journey In the Congo by Anjan Sundaram (AudioFile Earphones Award). ©1998, Dover Publications, Inc.
