As one of the 13th series of our company's "Most Classic English Library", this book selects the classic work "Siddhartha" by the famous German writer Hermann Hesse. This is Hesse's ninth work, published in Germany in 1922. Through the description of the two "selfs" in the protagonist Siddhartha - the rational infinite "self" and the emotional limited "self" - Hesse explores the issue of how individuals pursue the infinite and eternal realm of life in a limited life. Readers can not only gain an insight into the writer's love and awe for human nature, his wise understanding of life and the universe, but also feel his call and yearning for traditional humanitarian ideals. At the same time, they can also appreciate the author's acceptance and reference of Eastern, especially Chinese, thought and wisdom as a Westerner.

This book made me think a lot about life. The protagonist Siddhartha experienced many hardships in the process of finding himself, but he never gave up. I like his perseverance and persistence very much. The language of this book is also very beautiful and makes people feel comfortable reading it. It made me understand that the meaning of life does not lie in the pursuit of material enjoyment, but in the inner peace and pursuit of truth. I think this is a book worth reading and recommend it to you.
