Fingerprint! Pocket Classics are perfect pocket-sized editions with complete original content. Convenient to carry, priced right, and ideal for gifting and collecting, each classic with its vibrant cover and flap jacket offers an ultimate reading experience. A brahmin boy follows his heart and goes through various lives to finally understand what it means to be enlightened. He experiences life as a pious brahmin, a Samana, a rich merchant, a lover, and an ordinary ferryman, to a father. Neither a practitioner nor a devotee, neither meditating nor reciting, Siddhartha comes to blend in with the world, resonating with the rhythms of nature, bending the reader?s ear down to hear answers from the river.
