Description

The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, which together means 'he who has found meaning of existence' or 'he who has attained his goals'. In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as 'Gotama'.

Author

Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) was a German-Swiss poet and novelist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946. His books explore the inward journey — the search for authenticity, spiritual balance, and self-knowledge beyond social convention. Siddhartha, Demian, and Steppenwolf made him a guiding voice for generations of readers across Europe and America. Hesse writes with lyrical simplicity about the hardest question: how to become oneself.
