Hermann Hesse created a man close to the picture of the Buddha in Siddhartha. In doing so, he created a man in metamorphosis... a mind that could feel nature and the like of himself in co-relation to one another. This is a marvellous book simply because when you read it, in understanding these changes in Siddhartha, you can actually place yourself as a part of this sansara, and your substantial existence in its mundane cosmogenity. It is all the more relevant in the world of today, for philosophy of this nature is but a shadow of its past.
