Rika Lesser Books

The collection showcases Lesser's poetic journey, weaving together her connections with poets and languages, as well as her relationships with family and friends. Divided into three sections, it delves into her deep ties to Sweden, reflecting on her experiences in her adoptive country, her return to her roots, and her fascination with the art of translation.

One of the most widely read novels of the twentieth century, Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha explores the struggle of the soul to see beyond the illusions of humankind and achieve a deeper wisdom through spirituality. Born into wealth and privilege, Siddhartha renounces his place among India's nobility to wander the countryside in search of meaning. He learns suffering and self-denial among a group of ascetics before meeting the Buddha and coming to realize that true peace cannot be taught: It must be experienced. Changing his path yet again, Siddhatha reenters human society and earns a great fortune. Yet over time this life leaves Siddhartha restless and empty. He achieves enlightenment only when he stops searching and surrenders to the oneness of all. Rika Lesser's new translation deftly evokes the lyricism and quiet beauty of Hesse's novel, which first appeared in German in 1922. At once personal and universal, Siddhartha stands outside of time, resonating in the hearts of truth-seekers everywhere.
