From Bestselling author Deepak Chopra Deepak Chopra''s comic book interpretation of his New York Times best-selling novel continues as Prince Siddartha is at the cusp of adulthood and the peak of his physical strength. Poised to succeed his father''s rule, he must first face a series of trials to prove his ability to lead and strike fear in the hearts of his subjects. But will the young prince be able to commit the ultimate act of violence, killing another man, or will his path lead him towards something greater? Buddha is an emotionally evocative, fictional look at one of the most iconic figures in philosophy and spiritualism.

From Bestselling author Deepak Chopra Deepak Chopra brings the Buddha back to life in this stunning graphic novel adaptation of the New York Times Bestselling novel about a young prince who abandons his inheritance to discover his true calling. His iconic journey changed the world forever, and the truths revealed continue to influence every corner of the globe today. A young man in line for the throne is trapped in his father''s kingdom and yearns for the outside world. Betrayed by those closest to him, Siddhartha abandons his palace and princely title. Alone and face-to-face with his demons, he becomes a wandering monk and embarks on a spiritual fast that carries him to the brink of death. Ultimately recognizing his inability to conquer his body and mind by sheer will, Siddhartha transcends his physical pain and achieves enlightenment. Although we recognize Buddha today as an icon of peace and serenity, his life story was a tumultuous and spellbinding affair filled with love and sex, murder and loss, struggle and surrender. From the rocky terrain of the material world to the summit of the spiritual one, Buddha captivates and inspires - ultimately leading us closer to understanding the true nature of life and our selves.
