Steppenwolf - a sickness with some hope

Is one of the top-rated books in my collections. A book not for everyone, a book to be understood.

BOTH MEN ARE ENLIGHTENED--"BILL"

IT IS LIKE HESSE'S NARCISSUS AND GOLDMAN--THE WAY OF ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE WAY OF SERVING THE WORLD ARE BOTH IMPORTANT. THEY ARE OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE IN GOD'S EYES. WHY NOT DO BOTH?--BILL

THIS BOOK REVEALS TRUTH LIKE MIRROR REFLECTS ONESELF.

"Vedas" is like Bible for Indians. It is a Scripture where the Truth of life is told and also the path through which a person can attain. Herman Hesse got the essence of Vedas in this small novel and described it so methodically even a layman can understand and appreciate it. It is THE BOOK for anyone whose mind everyday nags saying "WHEN WILL I GET COMPLETE SATISFACTION" or "IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD CAN SATISFY ME COMPLETELY". Answer is defintely in the book.
