On My Bookshelf by Joseph Fiennes...
I read Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse when I was 16 and it ignited my passion for literature – I’d been completely uninterested at school. It provides a simple breakdown of Buddhist philosophy as it follows a man who tries to find restoration on a higher plane.
This classic of 20th century literature is one of the most famous examples of the West's fascination with Indian culture & particularly Buddhistic philosophy. Hesse tells the story of Siddhartha, a Brahmin on a quest for self-discovery.
