A book—rare in our arid age—that takes root in the heart and grows there for a lifetime.



Trade Review
"The cool and strangely simple story makes a beautiful little book, classic in proportion and style; it should be read slowly and with savor, preferably during the lonely hours of the night." -- The Nation
"In Siddhartha the setting is Indian and we encounter the Buddha, but the author’s ethos is still closer to Goethe." -- Washington Post Book World
"One could even hope that Hesse’s readers are hungrily imbibing Siddhartha, and that they will be so wisely foolish as to live by it." -- Chicago Tribune
"Hermann Hesse is the greatest writer of the century." -- San Francisco Chronicle
