Cine a parcurs Siddhartha - Bilingual Edition, German & English va recunoaște aici aceeași căutare fundamentală a sensului existenței, însă această ediție din Shambhala Pocket Library propune o experiență de lectură mult mai intimă și contemplativă. Observăm cum traducerea semnată de Sherab Chodzin Kohn reușește să distileze nuanțele filosofice ale textului original într-un limbaj fluid, care pune accent pe dimensiunea meditativă a călătoriei. Găsim în acest volum nu doar povestea unui tânăr brahman care își părăsește căminul în căutarea iluminării, ci o explorare profundă a dualității dintre asceză și experiența senzorială. Spre deosebire de alte versiuni, volumul de față este îmbogățit de o introducere care ne permite să privim în spatele cortinei procesului creativ al lui Herman Hesse. Prin analiza jurnalelor și a corespondenței sale private, înțelegem că parcursul lui Siddhartha — de la întâlnirea cu Buddha până la viața simplă a unui luntraș — reflectă propriile conflicte interioare ale autorului. Ritmul narațiunii este așezat, invitând la o parcurgere lentă, în care natura și mintea umană se oglindesc reciproc. Această versiune portabilă păstrează forța alegorică a textului publicat inițial în 1922, oferind o perspectivă proaspătă asupra modului în care înțelepciunea orientală a fost reinterpretată de spiritul european, devenind un reper cultural global.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express

Serju Dumitrescu a dat nota:

Este o carte minunata de care am aflat dintr-o alta carte extraordinara (Tim Ferriss-Instrumentele titanilor). A fost recomandata de 4 titani din cartea lui Tim Ferriss si mi-am propus sa o citesc. Reprezinta drumul pe care il parcurge un om, Siddhartha, spre iluminare. Trece prin mai multe etape de evolutie in calea catre desavarsire: om sarac, om bogat, om sarac, iluminat. Este o carte care "sapa" adanc in constiinta noastra si ne da speranta tuturor, in sensul ca nu conteaza in ce faza de evolutie suntem. Toti putem sa avansam. Spor la citit!

Despre autor

Herman Hesse (1877–1962) a fost un scriitor german, laureat al Premiului Nobel pentru Literatură în 1946, a cărui operă explorează adesea dualitatea spiritului uman și căutarea autenticității. Profund influențat de filozofia indiană și de budism, Hesse a scris Siddhartha după o perioadă de criză personală și studiu intens al tradițiilor orientale. Co-autorul acestei ediții, Sherab Chodzin Kohn, este un traducător renumit de texte budiste, aducând o expertiză valoroasă în redarea conceptelor metafizice în limba engleză, păstrând în același timp lirismul specific lui Hesse.

Descriere scurtă

Siddhartha by "Hermann Hesse" follows the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book was originally written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s.

The word Siddhartha is made up of two Sanskrit words which together mean "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals."

The story takes place in ancient India. Siddhartha, the son of a Brahmin, decides to leave behind his home in the hopes of gaining spiritual illuminationby becoming anasceticwandering beggar of theSamanas. Joined by his best friend Govinda, Siddhartha fasts, becomes homeless, renounces all personal possessions, and intensely meditates, eventually seeking and personally speaking with Gautam, the famous Buddha, or Enlightened One. Afterward, both Siddhartha and Govinda acknowledge the elegance of the Buddha's teachings. Although Govinda hastily joins the Buddha's order, Siddhartha does not follow, claiming that the Buddha's philosophy, though supremely wise, does not account for the necessarily distinct experiences of each person. He argues that the individual seeks an absolutely unique and personal meaning that cannot be presented to him by a teacher; he thus resolves to carry on his quest alone."

Notă biografică

In the 1960s, especially in the United States, the novels of Hermann Hesse were widely embraced by young readers who found in his protagonists a reflection of their own search for meaning in a troubled world. Hesse's rich allusions to world mythologies, especially those of Asia, and his persistent theme of the individual striving for integrity in opposition to received opinions and mass culture appealed to a generation in upheaval and in search of renewed values. Born in southern Germany in 1877, Hesse came from a family of missionaries, scholars, and writers with strong ties to India. This early exposure to the philosophies and religions of Asia--filtered and interpreted by thinkers thoroughly steeped in the intellectual traditions and currents of modern Europe--provided Hesse with some of the most pervasive elements in his short stories and novels, especially Siddhartha (1922) and Journey to the East (1932). Hesse concentrated on writing poetry as a young man, but his first successful book was a novel, Peter Camenzind (1904). The income it brought permitted him to settle with his wife in rural Switzerland and write full-time. By the start of World War I in 1914, Hesse had produced several more novels and had begun to write the considerable number of book reviews and articles that made him a strong influence on the literary culture of his time. During the war, Hesse was actively involved in relief efforts. Depression, criticism for his pacifist views, and a series of personal crises--combined with what he referred to as the "war psychosis" of his times--led Hesse to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang, a student of Carl Jung. Out of these years came Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse's subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), and Narcissus and Goldmund (1930). Hesse worked on his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943), for twelve years. This novel was specifically cited when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. Hesse died at his home in Switzerland in 1962. Calling his life a series of "crises and new beginnings," Hesse clearly saw his writing as a direct reflection of his personal development and his protagonists as representing stages in his own evolution. In the 1950s, Hesse described the dominant theme of his work: "From Camenzind to Steppenwolf and Josef Knecht [protagonist of The Glass Bead Game], they can all be interpreted as a defense (sometimes also as an SOS) of the personality, of the individual self." Joachim Neugroschel (translator) has won three PEN translation awards and the French-American translation prize. He has also translated Thomas Mann's Death in Venice and Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs, both for Penguin Classics. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. Ralph Freedman (introducer), Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at Princeton University, is acclaimed for his biographies Hermann Hesse: Pilgrim of Crisis, and Life of a Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke.
