Siddhartha novel5/12/2023 ![]() At each stage of his life Siddhartha yearns for nirvana, finally achieving it only after realizing that itâs all of lifeâs experiences that form it, not the teachings of any one man. Over twelve short chapters the reader follows Siddhartha through his time as a young adult, to his exploration of spirituality as a traveling ascetic, to his delvings in lust, business, and greed, to his time as an old man. Siddhartha is a short, simple tale of a manâs quest to achieve enlightenment and happiness. Hermann Hesse wrote Siddhartha during a period in his life in which he suffered what he described as a âsickness with life.â He claimed to be unable to complete the book because he had not experienced the kind of nirvana that Siddhartha, the main character, wants to achieveâso Hesse surrounded himself with sacred Buddhist and Hindu teachings and lived as a recluse in order to complete this work.
