Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse Antton Olariaga David Lindemman Irati Trebiño GoikoetxeaSiddharthak bilatzen zuena edo azken helmuga aurkitu duena esan nahi du sanskritoz. Azken helmugara iristeko bidean, lagungarri izan daitezke irakaspenak, Buda edo Mesiasak, baina baita natura bera ere: Ibaia, naturaren pertsonifikazio gisa, irakasle gorena izango da Siddhartharentzat, Vasudeva txalupariak iragarri bezala. Hinduismo, budismo, taoismo eta kristautasuneko osagaiak aurki daitezke Siddharthan. Buda historikoaren ibilbidearekin antz handia du Siddharthak: kasta eta etxea utzi eta aszetismoaren bitartez nitasuna gainditu nahi du lehenengo atalean. Taoismoarekin bat egiten du irakasle eta irakaspenekiko mesfidantza erakustean, jakinduria ezin dela hitzez eman ulertzen duenean. Modernitatearekin lotua den eta horrekin batera porrot egin zuen patriarkatu falozentristari ere ordezkoa aurkitzen dio Hessek Indiar tradizioan, Siddhartha emakumezkoen ezaugarritzat har zitezkeen bertuteak bereganatzen ahalegintzen den heinean: entzuten jakitea, hurkoaren sentimenduekin bat egiten jakitea, berdintasunean oinarritutako sexu-harremanak hobestea.
Siddhartha (Dover Dual Language German)
by Hermann HesseNobel prize-winning author Hermann Hesse imagined life in India during the lifetime of the Buddha to create this memorable tale about a restless seeker of enlightenment. First published in 1922, Siddhartha employs powerful symbolism to impart its timeless teachings.The story concerns a young Brahman who quits his comfortable home to join a roving group of holy men in striving to empty their hearts of passion and desire through self-denial and meditation. Discouraged by his failure to find Nirvana after three years of the strictest asceticism, the young seeker turns to the fleshly world, where he becomes a wealthy merchant and partakes of sensual pleasures with a sophisticated courtesan. Years of materialistic self-indulgence numb Siddhartha's soul, but at his moment of greatest despondency, he begins to experience his long-sought spiritual awakening. True enlightenment, he realizes, cannot be received from the lessons of others; it must be attained through individual struggle. This handy dual-language edition -- with its excellent line-for-line English translation on pages facing the original German text -- offers students an outstanding opportunity to hone their German-language skills while discovering a literary classic.
