Siddhartha

By: Hermann Hesse, Gunther Olesch - translator, Anke Dreher - translator, Amy Coulter - translator, Stefan Langer - translator, Semyon Chaichenets - translator

Narrated by: David Cross

In Siddhartha, Herman Hesse conveys a very profound message for all those who seek meaning in their lives. Though set in India, the concerns of Siddhartha are universal, expressing Hesse's general interest in the conflict between mind, body, and spirit. It is a story of a Brahmin boy who follows his heart and ventures out into the world to experience life as a pious Brahmin, a Samana, a rich merchant, a lover, and ordinary ferryman to a father - each life bringing a new awakening, bringing him closer to the truth until he is finally one with Buddha.

Very Nice story

It helps to understand many of the principles we hear on buddhism and spirituality. Easy and short.

Great piece. Excellent narration

This is this is how audiobooks are supposed to be. Really enjoyed this audiobook version of Siddhartha.

Meditation in Story Form

I wasn't sure what I was getting into. I didn't even remember why I had this on my list to read, but I'm glad I read it. It's your basic philosophy for life. With the entire point being that its not the end that is the goal, but the path that is the goal. That you should never stop learning, never stop getting closer to enlightenment.

I feel like this book is essentially meditation in story form if that makes sense.

great book

words are simply cheap

the ideas are pretty simple, and most important.

wish people in key positions have read it.

Great story, great narration

I listened to this in between periods of reading the book. It was helpful to hear pronunciations. Great purchase!
