«Siddhartha» is Hermann Hesse's spiritual coming-of-age novel, published by Debolsillo in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Set in traditional India, it narrates Siddhartha's quest for enlightenment; son of a Brahmin, he leaves home to follow different spiritual paths. Between asceticism and worldly life, the protagonist learns from teachers, love and the river, until he recognizes a wisdom based on the unity of all that exists.
Originally published in 1922 as «Siddhartha: Eine indische Dichtung», this Spanish edition, translated by Juan José del Solar, is part of Debolsillo's Ave Fénix collection.
A work suited to readers of classic fiction and spirituality, especially those who appreciate coming-of-age novels.
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.
