Penguin Select Classics: Siddhartha: (Original Unabridged Classic)

“Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed a little distorted a little foolish.” Set in ancient India a young and curious Siddhartha moves to the wilderness on a quest to understand the meaning and purpose of our existence in this world.Siddhartha as a young Brahmin had become discontented with the superficiality of life where the chase was for more personal gain and wealth never for a lasting impact of one’s actions.As a wandering ascetic Siddhartha’s search for fulfilment leads to the realization that enlightenment is a deeply personal journey and that traditional teachings and societal norms may not necessarily lead to true wisdom and contentment.Siddhartha is a timeless and meditative narrative that urges one to take a journey of self-realization to find their individualistic path to inner happiness.
