Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

Siddhartha, born into a Brahman family in ancient India, enjoys a life of privilege and admiration. However, he is driven from a young age to seek enlightenment. Initially, he embarks on this quest with his father and the elders of their religious community. However, Siddhartha becomes disillusioned when he realizes that none of them have truly attained enlightenment and profound happiness. Alongside his closest companion, Govinda, Siddhartha sets out into the world to find inner peace and fulfillment.
