{"product_id":"siddhartha-1","title":"Siddhartha","description":"152 pp. Translated into English from the original German by Hilda Rosner. Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book's debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse's time, synthesizing disparate philosophies - Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism - into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for meaning. It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life's vital passages - love, work, friendship, and fatherhood - Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within.","brand":"Bantam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46577153245254,"sku":"2354559","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2354559.jpg?v=1789559756","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/siddhartha-1","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
