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.
Herman Hesse's classic novel has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers. This is the story of a wealthy Indian Brahmin, Siddhartha who casts-off a life of privilege to seek spiritual fulfillment. This book chronicles the spiritual evolution of a man living in India at the time of the Buddha--a tale that has inspired generations of readers.
