Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse
Siddhartha: An Indian Tale was first published in German in 1922. It is a journey of self-discovery during the time of the Gautama Buddha. It is often introduced to high school students, which seems fitting as they embark on their own self-discovery into adulthood. [Illustration by Abanindranath Tagore, Departure of Siddhartha, 1914.]
"Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it."
