Bestselling author Deepak Chopra brings the Buddha back to life
in this gripping novel of the young prince who abandoned his
inheritance to discover his true calling. This iconic journey
changed the world forever, and the truths revealed continue to
influence every corner of the globe today. A young man in line for
the throne is trapped in his father's kingdom and yearns for the
outside world. Betrayed by those closest to him, Siddhartha
abandons his palace and princely title. Alone and face-to-face with
his demons, he becomes a wandering monk and embarks on a spiritual
fast that carries him to the brink of death. Ultimately recognizing
his inability to conquer his body and mind by sheer will,
Siddhartha transcends his physical pain and achieves enlightenment.
Although we recognize Buddha today as an icon of peace and
serenity, his life story was a tumultuous and spellbinding affair
filled with love and sex, murder and loss, struggle and surrender.
From the rocky terrain of the material world to the summit of the
spiritual one, "Buddha" captivates and inspires--ultimately leading
us closer to understanding the true nature of life and our
selves.
