Un jour vient où l’enseignement traditionnel donné aux brahmanes ne suffit plus au jeune Siddhartha. Quand des ascètes samanas passent dans la ville, il les suit, se familiarise avec toutes leurs pratiques mais n’arrive pas à trouver la paix de l’âme recherchée. Puis c’est la rencontre avec Gotama, le Bouddha. Tout en reconnaissant sa doctrine sublime, il ne peut l’accepter et commence une autre vie auprès de la belle Kamala et du marchand Kamaswani. Les richesses qu’il acquiert font de lui un homme neuf, matérialiste, dont le personnage finit par lui déplaire. Il s’en va à travers la forêt, au bord du ßeuve. C’est là que s’accomplit l’ultime phase du cycle de son évolution. Dans le cadre d’une Inde recréée à merveille, écrit dans un style d’une rare maîtrise, Siddhartha, roman d’une initiation, est un des plus grands de Hermann Hesse, prix Nobel de littérature.

Kind of fine, and of course a classic in its genre.

But I definitely didn't enjoy the reading with a very slow, nonchalant style, that I recognize in literature following spiritual mentors in their different endeavors.

What was definitely off for me was being plunged into this close world of wise men, whose majority of interactions and evocation of women are systematically related to their beauty (or a wisdom related to beauty), attractive physical appearance, wish for kisses and astonishment at their nice breasts/symbols of fertility or femininity. Nothing wrong with appreciating this in people but come on...

Life is short and there are definitely other books I want to get inspired by in 2024.

I can see many people enjoyed the book, and that is good for them. But if you can expect to be bothered by the same things as me, and you haven't started the book yet, …

Fourth read into Hesse and I can confidently say there’s a schema common to everything he writes. All I can do is marvel at the fact his reused ‘wander to find yourself’ bit has not once bored me. That being said, this is still no GBG or N&G.
