Title: The Journey
Review: A journey of a man who is completely open minded and receptive of this fantastic creation of God. He seeks to test the limits of love-hate, of body-emotional-physical, of joy-sorrow (despite of his claim that he is devoid of any feeling). He seeks knowledge and a teacher. Siddhartha (not to be confused with Gautam Buddha) takes it upon himself to experience the pleasures (Samsara) which he was denying himself for true knowledge. He submits self to each extreme to understand the virtues and vices of each.A very grasping and enlightening piece of literature as it poses several questions in front of the reader. This book challenges and eventually affirms many Buddhist beliefs.Herman Hesse, a man who can use words and make a simple story enlightening and a spiritual journey.
