Price reduced to $4000 NET

HESSE, Herman. SIDDHARTHA. EINE INDISCHE DICHTUNG. Berlin: S. Fischer, 
1922. First Edition. Thin octavo (5-3/4" x 8-3/4") bound in recent full 
rust morocco with gilt lettering on the front cover and on the spine 
label, retaining the publisher's heavy tan wraps with brown lettering on 
the front cover and blank on the rear; [1-8], 9-146, [-147], [1, blank], 
[2, publisher's ads]. The true First Edition with the text in German of 
one of this Nobel Prize winner's two famous and important novels, the 
other being of course STEPPENWOLF. Hesse based this book on the early 
life of Gautama Buddha. The story of a son rebelling against his 
father's teaching and traditions and eventually finding true 
enlightenment resonated with those maturing in the 1960s and 1970s 
making this title something of a cult classic. It was made into a 
beautiful film in 1972 by Conrad Rooks. A Fine, bright copy beautifully 
bound. (#018007)        $5,000.00
