Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha.

In an ancient Indian kingdom, a man named Siddhartha embarks on a journey from his home and family to seek spiritual enlightenment.

Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book’s debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse’s time, synthesizing disparate philosophies–Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism–into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man’s search for meaning. It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom.

Il disagio di fronte alla volgarità e alla massificazione della società moderna, la ricerca di valori più elevati, la forza liberatrice degli impulsi primordiali, il rimettersi in gioco a partire da una nuova consapevolezza. Sono questi alcuni dei temi che si intrecciano nel "Lupo della steppa", uno dei romanzi più "radicali" e più affascinanti di Hesse, pubblicato nel 1927 in un'Europa in cui i regimi totalitari si andavano moltiplicando.

Éltek más szentek is, kiknek lelke semmivel sem volt kevésbé tiszta és nemes, ám rájuk mégis kevésbé emlékezünk, ő azonban gyermek volt és költő, a szeretet mestere és tanítója, minden teremtmény alázatos barátja és fivére, és ha az emberek elfelednék, kövek és források, virágok és madarak beszélnének róla.

Concepito negli anni bui del nazismo, "Il giuoco delle perle di vetro" è il romanzo più vasto e ambizioso di Hermann Hesse, un libro di estrema attualità intellettuale in cui una vicenda fantastica fa da sfondo alla visione utopistica di una comunità spirituale che unisce pratica ascetica e vita attiva. Hesse riprende dunque un tema che gli è caro fin dai tempi di Siddharta : la necessità per l'uomo moderno di scendere dalle regioni dello spirito assoluto per immergersi nel flusso della vita.
