I read Siddhartha and 18; 1 shock; Years later, after several trips to India, I read it. Even shock; this book is the story of a life path and a meditation on knowledge, this is one of those books that resembles his writing to a legend, a tale ............. I do not know what inspired it, probably the Mahabharata! Siddharta continues to question the meaning of life, its purpose, the Masters, their teaching, the life choices he experiences in turn because the particularity of Siddharta is to follow no man, however wise deemed be it ... and open his own way and try to follow ... A book of spirituality for everyone and very easy to read; I notice that what hurts most about this book is the experience of love; that of the son who rejects the father is deeply painful it ... Water is the source of life, the Nature source of education; Siddharta is not a master, but a PASSEUR literally and metaphorically. Siddhartha's spiritual quest will end with a reconciliation with the world, life, men ... I really lent bought, recommended this text to many different people, all enjoyed it: it is an essential and founder novel.
