| Summary | "Siddhartha: A Poem of India" by Hermann Hesse is a philosophical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Siddhartha, a young Brahmin who, despite being loved and admired by his family and peers, feels an inner emptiness and unhappiness that drives him to seek deeper truth and enlightenment. Accompanied by his devoted friend Govinda, Siddhartha embarks on a journey through various teachings and experiences, exploring the themes of self-discovery, spirituality, and the meaning of life. The opening of "Siddhartha" introduces the title character, Siddhartha, as a gifted young man raised in privilege among the Brahmins but haunted by a profound restlessness for deeper understanding. As he engages in contemplative practices with Govinda and converses with wise men, he begins to realize that traditional teachings cannot satiate his thirst for truth. Determined to seek enlightenment on his own terms, Siddhartha ultimately decides to leave his home and friends to pursue the path of a samana, an ascetic, marking the beginning of his transformative journey towards self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
