ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read
The classic novel of a quest for knowledge that has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers—a perennial favorite for graduation gifts.
Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book’s debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse’s time, synthesizing disparate philosophies–Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism–into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man’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’s vital passages–love, work, friendship, and fatherhood–Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within.

Review:
In the shade of a banyan tree, a grizzled ferryman sits listening to the river. Some say he's a sage. He was once a wandering shramana and, briefly, like thousands of others, he followed Gotama the Buddha, enraptured by his sermons. But this man, Siddhartha, was not a follower of any but his own soul. Born the son of a Brahmin, Siddhartha was blessed in appearance, intelligence, and charisma. In order to find meaning in life, he discarded his promising future for the life of a wandering ascetic. Still, true happiness evaded him. Then a life of pleasure and titillation merely eroded away his spiritual gains until he was just like all the other "child people," dragged around by his desires. Like Hermann Hesse's other creations of struggling young men, Siddhartha has a good dose of European angst and stubborn individualism. His final epiphany challenges both the Buddhist and the Hindu ideals of enlightenment. Neither a practitioner nor a devotee, neither meditating nor reciting, Siddhartha comes to blend in with the world, resonating with the rhythms of nature, bending the reader's ear down to hear answers from the river. In this translation Sherab Chodzin Kohn captures the slow, spare lyricism of Siddhartha's search, putting her version on par with Hilda Rosner's standard edition. --Brian Bruya

Book Description Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Encuadernación: Rústica cosida. Colección: Contemporánea; 26201. «Uno de los libros más sencillos, bellos y profundos que haya leído jamás. Siddhartha es para mí una medicina más efectiva que el Nuevo Testamento. » HENRY MILLER Esta novela, ambientada en la India tradicional, relata la vida de Siddhartha, un hombre para quien el camino de la verdad pasa por la renuncia y la comprensión de la unidad que subyace en todo lo existente. En sus páginas, el autor ofrece todas las opciones espirituales del hombre. Hermann Hesse buceó en el alma de Oriente a fin de aportar sus aspectos positivos a nuestra sociedad. Siddhartha es la obra más representativa de este proceso y ha ejercido una gran influencia en la cultura occidental del siglo XX. Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) fue un novelista y poeta alemán, nacionalizado suizo, premio Nobel de Literatura en 1946. En sus libros cobra una relevancia inconfundible el mundo espiritual, que le ha valido la admiración de varias generaciones de lectores en todo el mundo. Hermann Hesse (1877-1962), novelista y poeta alemán, nacionalizado suizo. Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1946, es una figura de culto en el mundo occidental por su celebración del misticismo oriental y la búsqueda del propio yo, muy influenciado por el psicoanálisis junguiano. Abandonó pronto la escuela y fue autodidacta a base de numerosas lecturas. La desesperanza y la desilusión que le produjeron la Primera Guerra Mundial y una serie de tragedias domésticas, y sus intentos por encontrar soluciones, se convirtieron en el asunto de su posterior obra novelística. Sus escritos se fueron enfocando hacia la búsqueda espiritual de nuevos objetivos y valores que sustituyeran a los tradicionales, que ya no eran válidos. Es autor de varias novelas como Peter Camenzind (1904), Bajo las ruedas (1906), Demian (1919), Viaje al Este (1932), Siddhartha (1922), El lobo estepario (1927), quizá su novela más innovadora, Narciso y Goldmundo (1930) y El juego de abalorios (1943), que cada vez se hicieron más simbólicas y cercanas al psicoanálisis. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
