Leaving the safety of his family behind, Siddhartha embarks on a lifelong quest to seek answers wherever he might find them. But the road to enlightenment is fraught with perils, and the path of the seeker never seems to end. Siddhartha's only hope is to navigate through the obstacles of life and at last find the knowledge he seeks: the knowledge of himself.This beautifully-illustrated edition of Hermann Hesse's classic novel is a wonderful volume to any book collection, bringing the novel to life with magical imagery and vibrant colour.

Sometime in 2016, dark web posts began appearing about a document known only as "The Manuscript." Originally written with a manual typewriter and impossible to digitise, the Manuscript can only be read by those who can procure one of its precious few handwritten copies. It is said that The Manuscript contains horrific knowledge and those who have read it have immediately disconnected from the internet, vanished off the digital grid, never to return. In short order, all online posts regarding the Manuscript were gone without a trace. Everyone with any knowledge or connection to them has disappeared or been gruesomely murdered. "You've found this, Chumley. Good for you. Now take my advice and put it back down. This isn't meant for you. You don't have the stomach."
