Siddhartha: A New Translation

Description

This classic of twentieth-century literature chronicles the spiritual evolution of a man living in India at the time of the Buddha–a journey of the spirit that has inspired generations of readers. Here is an audio edition of a fresh translation from Sherab Chodzin Kohn, a gifted translator and longtime student of Buddhism and Eastern philosophy. Kohn’s flowing, poetic translation conveys the philosophical and spiritual nuances of Hermann Hesse’s text, paying special attention to the qualities of meditative experience.
