Ziarah (Pilgrimage) is a philosophical, semiotic, and psychological novel. There are many Netflix films or series that have psychological themes. Usually, such themes are often found in Korean dramas, such as It's Okay not to be Okay (2020). It is not surprising that many young people like Korean dramas, because they can offer a psychological-philosophical experience in films. But who would have thought long before Korean drama boomed in Indonesia, in 1969 there was already an Indonesian writer who was able to make a novel that was a blend of imagination and intellect which was processed into fiction wrapped in philosophy, semiotics, and psychology. The classic novel gives its own sensation to the reader with many plot twists in this novel.
