Editor’s note Novels of spiritual searching by the German-Swiss Nobel laureate. Siddhartha, a short book about a young man in the Buddha’s India looking for enlightenment his own way, is the most read and the natural start. Demian, about a boy breaking away from his sheltered world, rates exactly the same. Steppenwolf and The Glass Bead Game are the big next steps.
