Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse
In Siddhartha's novel, a young man leaves his family for a life of contemplation, then restlessly rejects him for someone from the body. She gives birth to a son, but bored and sick with lust and greed, she continues on her way again. Siddhartha's almost desperation comes to the river, where he hears a unique voice. This voice marks the true beginning of your life – the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and finally wisdom.
