Introduction

The main character Siddhartha is a young man. He leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near dispair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of life: the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace and, finally, inner wisdom.
