I do love having bookmarks featuring my favourite books and authors. This is one of them!
I first read the novel Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse about 20 years ago and have read it at least twice since then. It remains one of my very favourite books.
Siddhartha, first published in 1922, deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German. It was published in the United States in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s.
I received this beautifully illustrated bookmark in an exchange with an Indian bookmark collector a couple of years ago. It promotes the Indian publication of Siddhartha by the Manjul Publishing House. The bookmark, a segment of the book cover, was designed by Chaaya Prabhat and depicts Siddhartha's relationship with a river.
