Siddhartha. Traveling to the East of the East. Gesse G.

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 is worth reading and Review not because of the plot and in the search for new knowledge, but because of the deep understanding of the world, the sensation of unity with the others that it gives.

The publication also includes the allegorical story “Travel to the Country of the East”.
