Siddharta è un romanzo dello scrittore tedesco Hermann Hesse edito nel 1922. Considerato dallo stesso Hesse come un "poema indiano", il romanzo presenta un registro molto originale che unisce lirica ed epica, ma anche narrazione e meditazione, elevazione e sensualità.

Review of 'Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I read Siddhartha years ago, when I was a kid. I remember nothing about that first reading experience, except these things: I liked it enough to read more by Hermann Hesse (Demien, I think, although I recall nothing of that book either); I also recall that my sister’s friend’s mom saw that I was reading it and told me she had read and liked the book also.

I re-read this book over the weekend and am somewhat incredulous that I had “enjoyed” it before. But perhaps I am selling my adolescent self short.

My yoga teacher, Rosie, once said that if we practice yoga in this life, it’s because we practiced yoga before in a previous life. If that’s so, then that may explain the interest I had in my initial reading.
