Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse

This book tells the story of the young Siddhartha, born in the rich family, and his search for a meaningful way of life. This search takes him through periods of harsh asceticism, sensual pleasures, material wealth, then self-revulsion and eventually to the oneness and harmony with himself that he had been seeking.

Siddhartha learns that the secret of life cannot be passed on from one person to another, but must be achieved through inner experience. This book is simply wonderful!
