Philip Marsden has written several highly-praised and award-winning travel books – including ‘The Crossing Place: A Journey among the Armenians’, ‘The Bronski House’, ‘The Spirit-Wrestlers’ and ‘Chains of Heaven: An Ethiopian Romance’ – and one novel, ‘The Main Cages’. He lives in Cornwall.
'The Crossing Place' is the account of a remarkable journey through the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, a quest to discover the secret of one of the world's most extraordinary peoples. Caught between opening empires, between warring religions and ideologies – at the crossing place of history – the Armenians have somehow survived against the odds.
"A fascinating journey, a lone and absorbing quest for what stubbornly survives a holocaust – a people, a landscape, a language, a religious vision."
D.M.THOMAS
"An interest, then an obsession, then a quest – and eventually a book, 'The Crossing Place', in which Marsden's fine and unostentatious travel writing is criss-crossed with traces of politics and cultural history... This is a beautifully written book, with enough incident and observation to convey the unpredictability's of real travel."
NOEL MALCOM, 'Sunday Telegraph'
"One of the best young travel writers in search of the elusive, enigmatic Armenians... A wonderful journey recounted with knowledge, humour and a beautiful, elegiac sadness"
NICHOLAS WOLLASTON, 'Observer'
"As a history of the Armenian spirit in the twentieth century, this is possibly the most important book in decades. At the same time it is an extraordinary travel narrative."
TLS
"The way Marsden uncovers the traditions and secrets of these people from right under Europe's nose is enthralling"
