  • Siddhartha

    Herman Hesse, 1st World Library

    eBook (1st World Publishing, July 31, 2013)
    In this Illustrated edition, 1st World has chosen the original published text of Herman Hesse and combined it with 12 original illustrations, from an elite collection of artists …specifically intended for this great classic work. The imagery is intended to enhance the reader's experience by invoking a deeper appreciation of India, Buddha and Vedic literature. Many of the images are taken from private collections and feature master artists from India such as Ved Pal Sharma and Shiv Shankar. See THE LAND OF LOVE ART AND GENIUS. In the shade of the house, in the sunshine of the riverbank near the boats, in the shade of the Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree is where Siddhartha grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young falcon, together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman. The sun tanned his light shoulders by the banks of the river when bathing, performing the sacred ablutions, the sacred offerings. In the mango grove, shade poured into his black eyes, when playing as a boy, when his mother sang, when the sacred offerings were made, when his father, the scholar, taught him when the wise men talked. For a long time, Siddhartha had been partaking in the discussions of the wise men, practicing debate with Govinda, practicing with Govinda the art of reflection, the service of meditation. He already knew how to speak the Om silently, the word of words, to speak it silently into himself while inhaling, to speak it silently out of himself while exhaling, with all the concentration of his soul, the forehead surrounded by the glow of the clear-thinking spirit. He already knew to feel Atman in the depths of his being, indestructible, one with the universe.
