eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), The classic novel of a quest for knowledge that has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers.Nominated as one of America&rsquo;s best-loved novels by PBS&rsquo;s&#160;The Great American ReadThough set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book&rsquo;s debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse&rsquo;s time, synthesizing disparate philosophies&ndash;Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism&ndash;into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man&rsquo;s search for meaning. It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life&rsquo;s vital passages&ndash;love, work, friendship, and fatherhood&ndash;Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within. Susan Bernofsky&rsquo;s magnificent translation brings out Hesse&rsquo;s inspired lyricism and his elegant, melodious cadences, illuminating the novel&rsquo;s universal themes and timeless wisdom about the human condition. This original Modern Library edition includes a lively new Introduction by Tom Robbins and a glossary of Indian terms. [PU: Random House Publishing Group], Random House Publishing Group, 2009<
