Format:Paperback
Dieses Buch finde ich deswegen so gut, weil es dem Leser einen Wegzeiger gibt, wie man mit Problemen im Leben umgehen soll. Besonders gut stellt er da, wie der Mensch mit viel Geld oft nicht zufrieden und glücklich ist. Das Buch schlägt jedem auf sein Gewissen, weil sich eigentlcih jeder einzelne in den Mann reinversetzen kann.
SUPER. Das Buch sit wircklich genial, dafür dass es so alt ist, ist es sehr spandend geschrieben.

Kindle Version

I had never read this book by Herman Hesse before. My first language is German, so I thought I read the text in its original. I enjoyed very much the content, but was a bit disappointed by the many spelling mistakes and punctuation mishaps. My Kindle version of the book was very cheap ($0.99), which could be the reason for the mistakes. Someone without advanced knowledge of the German language might get confused by those typos. I just hope that it was the original text, not something translated into German from another language. All in all, I do recommend the book. The text exemplifies what is possible when an author skillfully uses literary devices within his creation. Indian philosophy is not forced on the reader, but the choice is left to the audience what to make of it. I would have given five stars if it weren't for the mistakes.

I love this book!

First of all, I am german and german is my first language. I read this book in Germany and loved it! Many years later, I live in the USA and wanted to read it again. At first I bought the english version and was borderline disgusted. I felt the english translation lost all of the charm, the entire atmosphere the german edition has.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in Buddhism, finding enlightenment, finding their true path, Deepak Chopra and so on.
