Siddhartha (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

One of my all time favorite book!

I listened to this as an audiobook and knew that I had to read it in its physical form. I can’t wait for someone to find this gem on my book exchange shelf.

This book explores the breadth of the experience of human existence. Accept reality as it is without being judgmental. Seeking an answer to an abstract idea is bound for failure.

Of course, love this story but this Kindle edition has hundreds of typos. That's a problem. No editor around? Do better Kindle.

All time favorite book now. Read it

The best thing I can say about this book, Siddhartha, is that it is indeed a classic jewel. I am happy to have been able to find such a literary work of art; not only in the form of a great novel, but as a novel that simultaneously professes great spiritual enlightenment in everyday general terms. There are dozens of “best” paragraphs I could quote, but I will randomly quote the following, not because it is better than most paragraphs, but because it is just one of the many forceful paragraphs: “Siddhartha learned much among the samanas, he learned to follow many paths away from his ego. He followed the path of unselfing through pain, through the voluntary suffering and overcoming of pain, of hunger, of thirst, of fatigue. He followed the path of unselfing through meditation, through thinking till the mind was empty of all notions. He learned to follow those and other paths, he left his self a thousands times, for hours on end and days on end he lingered in the nonself. But though the paths led away from the ego, in the end they always led back to the ego. Though Siddhartha fled his ego a thousand times, dwelling in nothingness, in animal, in rock, the return was inevitable since he found himself again, in the sunlight or in the moonlight, in shade or in rain, and again was ego and Siddhartha, and again felt the torment of the onerous cycle.”

This is a must read and a should be a staple on every bookshelf

Great book. Good price. Even.used was in good shape.

A superb book which seems to encapsulate the essential teachings of Buddhism. This book benefits from an excellent translation which faithfully conveys the meaning of the text in a thoroughly eloquent way. A pity that it is not available as an eBook.

Quality of the hardbound is good. Good read too
