Siddhartha. Tapa Dura Bolsillo
Written in 1922 by Hermann Hesse (1877-1962), Siddhartha is a novel that narrates the journey of personal discovery of a man named Siddhartha, in the time of Gautama Buddha. Hesse's novel concentrates on the message that enlightenment is achieved through the experience of the totality of human experiences, and not only through carnal pleasures, intellectual methods, and the pain experienced in life. Every action leads us to enlightenment. It was Hesse's ninth novel, and it was born from his deep admiration for Indian culture and Buddhist philosophy that he had felt since he was young. It became especially famous during the sixties, when Western society began to experiment with a fascination for Eastern spiritualism, especially from India.
