Siddhartha
The cool and strangely simple story makes a beautiful little book, classic in proportion and style; it should be read slowly and with savor, preferably during the lonely hours of the night. (The Nation)One could even hope that Hesse’s readers are hungrily imbibingSiddhartha, and that they will be so wisely foolish as to live by it. (Chicago Tribune)Hermann Hesse is the greatest writer of the century. (San Francisco Chronicle)InSiddharthathe setting is Indian and we encounter the Buddha, but the author’s ethos is still closer to Goethe. (Washington Post Book World) --Amazon.com
