    The Barefoot Book of Buddhist Tales
    • The classic novel of a quest for knowledge that has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers—a perennial favorite for graduation gifts. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book’s debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse’s time, synthesizing disparate philosophies–Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism–into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man’s search for meaning. It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life’s vital passages–love, work, friendship, and fatherhood–Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within.

      "Der Buddha war so sterblich wie du und ich, bis er Erleuchtung erlangte und in den Rang eines Unsterblichen erhoben wurde. Das Wunder ist, dass er dorthin gelangte, indem er seinem Herz folgte, das so menschlich war wie deines und meines - und so verletzbar." Deepak Chopra gibt der entrückten Gestalt des Religionsgründers erstmals ein menschliches Gesicht und zeigt einen Mann von fast erschreckender Konsequenz. Er schildert das weltliche Leben des Fürstensohnes, sein fast zum Tod führendes Asketenleben und schließlich seinen Durchbruch zur Erleuchtung und wahren Meisterschaft. Ein großer Roman von einem der einflussreichsten spirituellen Lehrer unserer Zeit.
