«Siddhartha» is the philosophical novel by Hermann Hesse, published by Público in paperback and in Portuguese.
Set in India at the time of the Buddha, the novel follows Siddhartha, a young Brahmin who leaves his privileged life in search of wisdom. He passes through asceticism, meditation, love and material wealth before understanding that enlightenment cannot be transmitted and can only be reached through one's own experience.
It is intended for readers of classical literature and philosophy interested in spiritual search and self-knowledge.
Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-Swiss poet and novelist, and winner of the 1946 Nobel Prize in Literature. His interest in Eastern religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions, combined with his involvement with Jungian analysis, helped shape his literary work. His best-known novels include Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality.
