Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
Translated from the German by Joachim Neugroschel, with an introduction by Hesse biographer Ralph Freedman.
This simple yet profound story of a young Brahmin in India during the time of the Buddha is one of my favorites ever. The young man Siddhartha, already well-versed in basic methods of meditation, realizes that traditional practices are not going to enable him to penetrate the mystery of existence, and leaves his family with his companion Govinda in search of freedom from the "I", the ego.
They join in with a party of Samanas, ascetics who practice severe austerities in the forest apart from humankind. But after some years Siddhartha and Govinda realize this is not getting them any nearer true liberation. Hearing of a wandering ascetic named Gotama, the Buddha, they travel to hear the sermon of the Enlightened One and are both convinced that he has realized what they seek. Govinda, who has always been his friend's shadow, immediately decides to join the sangha, the community of the Buddha's followers, and is aghast that Siddhartha does not do so as well. But Siddhartha, sensing a contradiction in the idea that the Buddha, who realized enlightenment without a teacher, could himself impart the same kind of awakening to another, goes his own way.
Siddhartha's life mirrors in reverse the life of the historical Buddha who grew up in a life of sensual and material comfort and then became an ascetic. Siddhartha, first growing up in an austere tradition, then decides to try out the material life, wandering into town bearded, dirty, almost naked, and using the skills of an ascetic ("I can think, I can wait, I can fast"), not to mention his ability to read in a time when most people were illiterate, is able to become the successful business partner of a wealthy merchant, and the lover of a beautiful courtesan.
But this life of passion and luxury also gets him nowhere—worse than that, it leads to despair and near-suicide. It is only when he takes up the life of an assistant to a wise and patient ferryman that he learns to listen to the flow of life as the ferryman listens to the river, and realizes what the Buddha could not directly teach him.
Although my German is not fluent by a long shot, this translation seems to me to be more true to the poetic flavor of the original German than the more widely available Hilda Rosner rendering.

Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
A new translation by Sherab Chödzin Kohn, with an introduction by Paul W. Morris
