When the traditional teaching of the Brahmins is no longer enough for the young Siddhartha, he decides to leave his hometown to follow the samanas. He familiarizes himself with their practices but does not manage to find the peace of soul he seeks. From there, Siddhartha embarks on a sequence of events until the cycle of his evolution is accomplished. Within the framework of a marvellously recreated India, written in a style of rare mastery, Siddhartha is one of Hermann Hesse's greatest.
