ABSTRACT
In his Nobel Prize–winning novel Siddhartha, Nobel laureate Hermann Hesse explores salvation as a central topic. It is abundantly evident from the book that the protagonist, Siddhartha, a young kid, is never content with his lived experience and is always on the lookout for something more. In his quest to find the missing link, he leaves his family behind with his friend Govinda. His journey toward self-discovery lies at the heart of the story.
