Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
In the shade of a banyan tree, a grizzled ferryman sits listening to the river. Some say he's a sage. He was once a wandering shramana and, briefly, like thousands of others, he followed Gautama the Buddha, enraptured by his sermons. But this man, Siddhartha, was not a follower of any but his own soul. Born the son of a Brahman, Siddhartha was blessed in appearance, intelligence, and charisma. In order to find meaning in life, he discarded his promising future for the life of a wandering ascetic. Still, true happiness evaded him. Then a life of pleasure and titillation merely eroded away his spiritual gains until he was just like all the other "child people," dragged around by his desires. Like Hesse's other creations of struggling young men, Siddhartha has a good dose of European angst and stubborn individualism. His final epiphany challenges both the Buddhist and the Hindu ideals of enlightenment. Neither a practitioner nor a devotee, neither meditating nor reciting, Siddhartha comes to blend in with the world, resonating with the rhythms of nature, bending the reader's ear down to hear answers from the river. --Brian Bruya

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book blends Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity into a poignant, comforting embrace for the soul. It is not a novel for the literal reader or the action-seeker. Also, the reader must not be fooled by its simplistic narrative style. It is rich in symbolic import and philosophical vision. I am particularly fond of the novel's philosophy of time--that it does not exist; and if time does not exist, death is an illusion as well. And while the book's major thought is that no teacher, no doctrine, no religion can afford you wisdom, it pays reverent homage to the valuable mentors in life that help us find our way. No matter how many times I read this novel, I always leave it with a sense of peace and humility.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Siddhartha to me has shown the path to find inner peace and meaning of life. In my mid 30's when I started thinking about the meaning of life, I accidentally picked up the book and started reading it. I was not enlightened (like Siddartha) but I learnt to live better. Now when my daughter wants to know what is the meaning of life, I feel confident when I answer her that there is no meaning. It is sad to see some of the reviewers bashing the book due to their limitations in understanding what Hesse was trying to convey.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'm looking at the different reviews about this book and while majority has been favorable, there are some that are not towards this book. Each of these reviewers is exactly correct about this book for him/herself. It's about being on a particular path in your life that is exactly the right one for you at this time of your life. Siddhartha was very intelligent, yet intelligence has nothing to do with enlightenment that he desperately sought. He often felt superior to others, yet could not experience the intensity of passion that others experienced. It wasn't until he experienced humanity himself, including the hurts of love and conceit and sorrow with the appearance and disappearance of his son, that he understood that each person's path towards enlightenment is one's alone, yet intertwined with everyone else's. My favorite part was when Vasudeva reminded him that his role was not to spare his son of pain because each person has to experience life for himself in order to fully understand his own existence within that context.
