Siddhartha. Journey to the East

Siddhartha is a pearl of prose by Herman Hesse, on whose pages the writer’s journey through India, as well as his interest in eastern religions, found their own pages.

The place of action is India from the times of Siddhartha Gautama - the founder of one of the deepest and most wise religions of mankind - Buddhism. In this small book, Hesse managed to explain its essence to Europeans, to create an ideal system - a certain set of interconnected rules - how to live, how to correct your mistakes, how to find your true "I".

This parable should be read and re-read not because of the plot and in the search for new knowledge, but because of the deep understanding of the world, the feeling of unity with the others that it gives.

The publication also includes the allegorical story "Journey to the Country of the East."
