Book excerpt: In 'Siddhartha', Hermann Hesse presents a poignant journey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of ancient India. It is a novel that transcends the boundaries of time and culture with its universal themes of searching for meaning and the nature of enlightenment. Written in a simple yet deeply lyrical style, Hesse enables the reader to accompany the protagonist on his odyssey from the confines of rigid spirituality to the embrace of life's temporal experiences and, finally, to the serene acceptance of impermanence and the wisdom of renunciation. The novel, placed within the flourishing tradition of German lyrical literature, is a bildungsroman of the spirit, underpinning its narrative with the quest for a harmonious existence and true inner peace.nHermann Hesse, born in the Black Forest, was heavily influenced by his parents' missionary background and his own struggles with institutional religion and personal identity. These core conflicts are adeptly explored in 'Siddhartha', mirroring aspects of Hesse's own journey through spiritual anguish and self-exploration. His profound contributions to literature, such as 'Siddhartha', were recognized in the conferral of the Nobel Prize in Literature, acknowledging his articulate voice on the journey towards self-realization and the complexities of the human psyche.nThis seminal work is recommended for anyone on their own path of self-discovery or those interested in the intersection of spirituality and literature. 'Siddhartha' holds particular resonance for readers who appreciate a narrative that is both an intimate character study and a meditation on the philosophical preoccupations of a generation. Hesse's masterful storytelling and philosophical depth make this novel a timeless treasure and a cornerstone of 20th-century literature.

Book excerpt: Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel (1922), was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated Siddhartha to his wife Ninon ("Meiner Frau Ninon gewidmet ") and supposedly afterwards to Romain Rolland and Wilhelm Gundert. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in the Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (meaning or wealth), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilvastu, Nepal. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama".

Book excerpt: Thomas Bernhard was one of the most original writers of the twentieth century. His formal innovation ranks with Beckett and Kafka, his outrageously cantankerous voice recalls Dostoevsky, but his gift for lacerating, lyrical, provocative prose is incomparably his own.One of Bernhard's most acclaimed novels, The Loser centers on a fictional relationship between piano virtuoso Glenn Gould and two of his fellow students who feel compelled to renounce their musical ambitions in the face of Gould's incomparable genius. One commits suicide, while the other-- the obsessive, witty, and self-mocking narrator-- has retreated into obscurity. Written as a monologue in one remarkable unbroken paragraph, The Loser is a brilliant meditation on success, failure, genius, and fame.

Download or read book The Quest for Cosmic Justice written by Thomas Sowell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-06-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies. Those consequences include the steady and dangerous erosion of fundamental principles of freedom -- amounting to a quiet repeal of the American revolution. The Quest for Cosmic Justice is the summation of a lifetime of study and thought about where we as a society are headed -- and why we need to change course before we do irretrievable damage.
