Siddharta, written by Hermann Hesse, depicts the life of a young man who leaves everything behind in order to find the true happiness in life, which, at the end, is found at the side of his lifelong friend, Govinda. The novel narrates all the good and bad experiences that Siddartha must go through in order to achieve his own nirvana.  

Once the young man leaves his home, he starts to wonder in a society familiar to him but completely unknown at the same time. He had spent all his life under the care of his family, once he steps outside of his house he is gone for good. That was a common situation for the rich citizens that live as if they were apart from society. We can even trace that same behavior to our contemporary societies were social classes prominently divide people within the same community. The only difference is that in the book Siddharta leaves behind all his privileges, something very unlikely in today´s society.
