Mesmerising story and very well read too. Thanking you deeply.

[Kim Novak · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a beautiful, fictional tale of the life of a contemporary of Buddha, paralleling the Buddha's own life. Siddhartha and his friend Govinda share a poignant relationship that adds depth to the earnestness of the story. It is readily apparent that author has written from the heart, with deep love and spiritual understanding.

Este libro es muy emocionante la trama es espectacular. Siddhartha es una de las grandes novelas filosóficas. Profundamente perspicaz, también es una historia bellamente escrita que comienza cuando Siddhartha, hijo de un indio Brahman, abandona a su familia y comienza un viaje de por vida hacia la Iluminación. Es muy fascinante que no te querras despegar de este libro, recomiendo que lo lean o escuchen..

[Ara kates · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Herman Hesse's classic novel has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers. In this story of a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege to seek spiritual fulfillment. Hesse synthesizes disparate philosophies--Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism--into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for true meaning.

[ladjel menad · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great mystery that takes place in Boston, with the African American cook as the sleuth. Great commentary on relationships across race and class, but leavened with humor and good writing. I found the book by reading the NYT obits which led me to the author, Barbara Neely. So glad to have discovered her-- late, but even so
Hot, Hot, Hot! I cant get enough of this family! I wish I had a guy like Ryland in my life! I cant wait to read the rest of the series

I love the idea of including this title and future curriculum in my classroom! I am always looking for multicultural authors and stories, and one that features a female hero is icing on the cake!
For me, reading the story not only propelled me to ano
hero happens to be female, and there are strong female characters, does not mean they are feminists. But I do like the matter-of-fact way that things like sexual identity are addressed.
As a huge fan of YA fantasy, and age appropriate romance, I found this lovely book “ticked all the boxes.” I’m excited to introduce it to future students!
Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the opportunity to read it!
Note: Although the voice actor reading the audiobook did a credible job with many of the characters, I found her caricature portrayal of a couple (especially Parvenah) annoying and almost offensive

For people who like literature, they have a book with which they can obtain more information while spending time while the literary discourse is presented naturally.

[Amara Miller · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I read this fiction. Initially I thought it is biography of Gautama Buddha. But, Siddhartha is another character similar to Lord Buddha who leave house and family with friend Govinda to discover meaning of life. His friend became disciple of Lord Buddha, whereas he followed his own path (merchant, love, ferryman) and finally discover the meaning of life.
Good story, I bought it as Maple Classic for Rs 80 in 2019. It has 120 pages in simple English. Must for all with deep thoughts.
