Choosing an audio version of Siddhartha
Audible currently offers 4 versions of Hermann Hesse's, "Siddhartha". I'd like to help you with your selection.
Derek Jacobi brilliantly breathes life into the current edition. The reading is stellar, making this by far the recommended choice. Caveat: this version is abridged.
As for the unabridged versions:
Fidrous Bamji: If you must choose an unabridged version, this is the best of the lot. The narration is pleasing to the ear, but simply lacks the magic of Jacobi's rendition.
James Langton: TOO FAST. Langton literally speed narrates the story, leaving you with a throbbing headache by the time he's done.
Harish Bhimani: Bhimani sounds too self-indulgent, seems to be in love with his own voice. Pronunciation and inflection are questionable. The translation sounds flat, dead, worn.

Great Narrator, Not the full story
This book is my favorite book of all time and I really like this narrator. He is very sincere in what he is reading and adds much to the story. I knew this was abridged, but it is only 4 chapters. This would be my favorite audible title if it was just complete.

Disappointed in Paraphrase & Over Editing
While reading a copy of Hesse’ Siddhartha I then chose to finish the story using my Audible account. Immediately I realized the two were not the same… many words were completely left out in the Audible version while others were paraphrased.
The written version has such a wonderful command of language; unlike anything we are used to in the 21st century. It’s a shame that was lost in Audible’s version. One wonders why? Surely it cannot be merely for the sake of brevity. Other books I’ve enjoyed with Audible were very lengthy and had several volumes & they weren’t chopped like Siddhartha.
There were several versions of Siddhartha offered by Audible and I chose the one narrated by Sir Derek Jacobi. I’m very glad I did as his enunciation is impeccable.

A fantastic book
A book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found that this author is incredible and highly unnoticed. I found further that the author has read with exactness and precision and the intonations and inflections were perfect. I highly recommend this book.
