Not only an unorthodox decision for the son of a Brahmana, but one that is sure to invite disproval and aversion even from the ones who loved Siddhartha. And that, is when he decides to leave his home to become a Samana, a traveling ascetic. Discontent and restlessness slowly growing within him. Everything others loved about him meant little to nothing to Siddhartha himself. Siddhartha’s journey begins in an ancient Nepalese kingdom where he, the son of a Brahmana, loved by everyone around him, has so far has lived a relatively comfortable life. All of which play key roles in his search for wisdom, enlightenment, and above all, his search for himself. A discovery that introduces our protagonist to new places, new people, new joys and miseries, and new experiences. Inspired by Gautama Buddha and his wisdom, Siddhartha’s quest is one that is less of an adventure, and more of discovery. Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha is the story of one man’s quest for spiritual illumination.
