{"product_id":"siddhartha","title":"Siddhartha","description":"WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE\nA book―rare in our arid age―that takes root in the heart and grows there for a lifetime.\nHere the spirituality of the East and the West have met in a novel that enfigures deep human wisdom with a rich and colorful imagination.\nWritten in a prose of almost biblical simplicity and beauty, it is the story of a soul's long quest in search of he ultimate answer to the enigma of man's role on this earth. As a youth, the young Indian Siddhartha meets the Buddha but cannot be content with a disciple's role: he must work out his own destiny and solve his own doubt―a tortuous road that carries him through the sensuality of a love affair with the beautiful courtesan Kamala, the temptation of success and riches, the heartache of struggle with his own son, to final renunciation and self-knowledge.\n\nThe name \"Siddhartha\" is one often given to the Buddha himself―perhaps a clue to Hesse's aims in contrasting the traditional legendary figure with his own conception, as a European (Hesse was Swiss), of a spiritual explorer.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 081120068X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.081120068X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hermann Hesse\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
