This edition has a NEW introduction by PAULO COELHO.
Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our
troubled century has produced. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual
traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale,
written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of
millions since its original publication in 1922. Set in India, Siddhartha is the
story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the
Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the
illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and
fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of
renunciation.
This edition is a translation by Hilda Rosner, with an introduction by Paulo
Coelho.
