Siddhartha

This is my second book I read from Hermann Hesse. The first one was “Unterm Rad” (Under the wheel) which I had to read as a young teenager for school. I hated it, although remembering back, the story was really amazing.

Well, this time I am much older and finally can understand the writing of Hermann Hesse. And this book is especially good. Really great story about the meaning of life and what is important in ones life. Written in such an excellent way, this book is a big enjoyment to read. But be warned, this is not a light story, not an easy story and not written in an easy german either.

I highly recommend this book, especially in german to everyone who wants to read some very good short novel.
