Item description from the seller

Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is translated from German by Hilda Rosner with an introduction by John Peacock.

Siddhartha, the son of a wealthy Brahmin, is unable to find peace within his own religion and community, so he sets off on his travels through India in search of enlightenment. First, he spends time with a group of ascetics called Samanas. For a while, he embraces their doctrine and rejects all worldly goods. When he hears about a man called Gotama the Buddha, he leaves the Samanas. However, Buddhist teaching disappoints him, and he realizes that self-discovery must come from his own experiences. He rejects the spiritual life, takes a lover and becomes a rich merchant. But after some years, dissatisfied with materialism, he takes off again in search of the spiritual peace he longs for.
