UK Kindle book deal: Siddhartha by Herman Hesse for 34p [NOTE - LISTING ERROR]

greencat · 08-22-2010, 09:13 AM

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
This edition has a NEW introduction by PAULO COELHO. Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922. Set in India, Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation

This definitely looks like a listing error, as the same ASIN in the US does not mention Coelho. I did find the correct listing, which is from Penguin UK, but it isn't under a dollar/pound in any country:

UK Link - £5.46

US Link - $5.64 UK, $8.62 Canada (not available US).

I also agree that this is a listing error. Coehlo's introduction is to the Penguin edition. The cover shown is from the Bantam paperback. I'd stick to the free editons listed in this thread.

I'm a bit curious about the copyright status of Siddhartha as while the original book was published in German in 1922 I'm pretty sure there wasn't an english translation any earlier than 1951.

Has someone done a PD translation?

Project Gutenberg sponsored one and succesfully defended it against the lawyers.
