Author: Hermann Hesse / Year: 1877-1962  / Genre: Spiritual

In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless,
discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed,
 moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound.
This sound signals the true beginning of his life—the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace,
 and, finally, wisdom.
