What needs to be said about the book that inspired a generation to take to the road on a journey of self-discovery? In the 1960s and 1970s, Hesse's Siddhartha was one of the
seminal texts of the Beat Generation, along with other classics like Trout Fishing in America
by Richard Brautigan and On the Road by Jack Kerouac. But of these novels, it is Siddhartha that touches
the spirit most directly. This universal tale of a privileged Brahaman youth who leaves his comfortable life
to pursue the path of a naked, starving shramana is sure to evoke nostalgia in older readers
and provide younger readers with profound and deeply-felt insights.
