This novel helped me when I was lost and didn't know where to go.It gave me the guts and the power to keep going.I learned how to appreciate my life and appreciating the nature and the universe from it .It really bring inner peace.
edit: i cannot stop thinking about this books it's five stars
herman hesse's writing style reminds me of 'things fall apart' in a good way. i don't know how to feel about a white guy writing about buddhism and indian religious traditions but aside from that it was really great read.
this books follows one man's journey to become enlightened, and the teachings through which siddartha follows.
it's kind of fun to see how ideals are interconnected within nature, and the minute material possessions are used within his daily life siddartha transforms into this money and object-hungry man.
the way in which each section is divided through the different areas of life siddartha explores is really digestible and not one chapter was less interesting than the other.
overall this book was really satisfying to read and finish.

“These are things and one can love things. But one cannot love words. Therefore teachings are of no use to me; they have no hardness, no softness, no colours, no corners, no smell, no taste - they have nothing but words.”

Uma história de busca ao auto-conhecimento. Foi isso que entendi lendo esse livro, achei bem interessante.
O segundo livro que leio desde autor, o primeiro sendo O Lobo da Estepe - que achei meio confuso -, comecei a leitura sem conhecimento prévio nenhum, apenas tinha ouvido falar que era um bom livro. Os primeiros capítulos são meio lentos, mas não desista, logo a leitura flui muito! Em poucas horas dá para terminar.
Como eu havia falado anteriormente, pelo que entendi é sobre auto-conhecimento e também a busca da felicidade. Agora vou procurar alguma resenha para tentar entender um pouquinho melhor oque eu possa ter perdido.

Me sonaba el título de este libro de oídas, pero no sabía qué esperar de él cuando lo compré. Sin embargo, no me ha decepcionado en absoluto.
A pesar de su brevedad, es un libro denso, cargado de reflexiones del propio personaje que te hacen reflexionar a tí mismo. Siento que hay cosas que aún no he llegado a comprender del todo tras leerlo, pero considero que es un gran libro, uno de esos que es necesario leer al menos una vez en la vida.
