Siddhartha & Steppenwolf

A collection of Hesse's subsequent works, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1923). Siddhartha is a novel about the spiritual journey of a kid from the Indian subcontinent named Siddhartha during the reign of Lord Buddha. A Brahman lad follows his heart and lives many lives before realising what it means to be enlightened. Siddhartha gradually blends into the environment, connecting with natural rhythms and bending the reader's ear down to hear replies from the river. The Steppenwolf was the bible of the 1960s counterculture, capturing the atmosphere of a disenchanted generation, and remains a devastating story of estrangement and redemption.
