Siddhartha (Mondo Folktales) Review "No living English-speaking actor outshines Derek Jacobi, nor any audiobook reader for that matter. He sings, rather than speaks, with extraordinary lyricism, expressiveness and depth...Jacobi approached the text with a direct, childlike fervor. He brings home the subtleties of Siddhartha's inner journey with amazing clarity and resonance, which he makes more exciting than the most thrilling thriller." --AudioFile, October/November 1998  About the Author Hermann Hesse (1877-1962), winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946, moved from Germany to Switzerland during World War I to be involved in pacifist antiwar activity.
