Siddhartha

Hermann Hesse, the author, has narrated a lot about Siddartha and his spiritual journey. Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. 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.
