Siddhartha (first published in 1922) is a novel based on the early life of Buddha, inspired by the author's visit to India before the First World War. The novel is about the young Brahmin Siddhartha's search for self- realization. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation

Thomas Bernhard was one of the most original writers of the twentieth century. His formal innovation ranks with Beckett and Kafka, his outrageously cantankerous voice recalls Dostoevsky, but his gift for lacerating, lyrical, provocative prose is incomparably his own.One of Bernhard's most acclaimed novels, The Loser centers on a fictional relationship between piano virtuoso Glenn Gould and two of his fellow students who feel compelled to renounce their musical ambitions in the face of Gould's incomparable genius. One commits suicide, while the other-- the obsessive, witty, and self-mocking narrator-- has retreated into obscurity. Written as a monologue in one remarkable unbroken paragraph, The Loser is a brilliant meditation on success, failure, genius, and fame.

Hermann Hesse was a rite of passage must read writer in the counter culture in North America in the 1960s-1970s. The passing away of the counter culture meant, in many ways, Hesse's identification with it seemed to ensure his demise. But, was Hesse misread and misinterpreted, thinned out to pander to the reactionary tendencies of significant aspects of the counter culture? This book will argue that there is much more to the nuanced and subtle Hesse than has been mined thus far, and, equally important, in the last decade there has been a sophisticated renewal of Hesse's renaissance and humanist breadth and depth, hence the title of this book, Hermann Hesse: Phoenix Arising.
