East Meets West
Written by Hermann Hesse — a German-Swiss writer, poet, and painter — this enormously popular novel was heavily influenced by Eastern philosophy, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The author was looking for answers about the meaning of life. With the help of a wise ferryman, young Siddhartha (and by extension Hesse himself) learns to find his way in an emotionally draining world.
