Bestselling author Deepak Chopra brings the Buddha back to
life in this gripping novel of the young prince who
abandoned his inheritance to discover his true calling. This
iconic journey changed the world forever, and the truths
revealed continue to influence every corner of the globe
today.
A young man in line for the throne is
trapped in his father's kingdom and yearns for the outside
world. Betrayed by those closest to him, Siddhartha abandons
his palace and princely title. Alone and face-to-face with
his demons, he becomes a wandering monk and embarks on a
spiritual fast that carries him to the brink of death.
Ultimately recognizing his inability to conquer his body and
mind by sheer will, Siddhartha transcends his physical pain
and achieves enlightenment.
Although we recognize
Buddha today as an icon of peace and serenity, his life
story was a tumultuous and spellbinding affair filled with
love and sex, murder and loss, struggle and surrender. From
the rocky terrain of the material world to the summit of the
spiritual one, Buddha captivates and
inspires—ultimately leading us closer to understanding the
true nature of life and our selves.
