Siddhartha by Hermann HesseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
★★★★★ and a ♥
Synopsis: Born into wealth and privilege, Siddhartha renounces his place among India’s nobility to wander the countryside in search of meaning. He learns suffering and self-denial among a group of ascetics before meeting the Buddha and coming to realize that true peace cannot be taught: It must be experienced. Changing his path yet again, Siddhartha reenters human society and earns a great fortune. Yet over time this life leaves Siddhartha restless and empty. He achieves enlightenment only when he stops searching and surrenders to the oneness of it all.
In A Sentence: A wonderfully poetic book that left in me in tears
