liviakadezabek If you like books that are thought-provoking or about spiritual exploration, you have to check out this book!
A motif in Siddhartha is the concept of “Om,” representing the unity of all things in the universe. Om is periodically featured throughout the novel, appearing at times when a change occurs within Siddhartha.
