A study of European Catholics, evoking a world of unshakeable dogma and troubled devotion. It is an unusual tour of a disturbing Europe, at odds with much of modernity. Among the places visited by Toibin are Poland, Croatia, Spain, Slovakia and Glasgow - for a Celtic match.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Good condition paperback pictorial laminated cover. No DJ. 296 pages good and clean with clear print. No foxing, no previous names. 'Between 190 and 1994, Toibin took a series of trips through Catholic Europe. The result is this beautifully written book; almost a travelogue, allmost an autobiography, almost an act of faith in the evocative power of the written work, almost an expose of the power relationship between the church and nationalism.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. THE SIGN OF THE CROSS is a book about European Catholics. In quiet, exact language, it evokes a world of unshakable dogma and troubled devotion while remaining ironically distant from it. Beginning with the haunting description of the cathedral in the Irish provincial town where he grew up, Toibin sets off on a quest that takes him (amongst other places) to Poland with the Pope for a vast celebration of authoritarian belief, and to Croatia where the virgin appears to her visionaries and American visitors believe they can see the sun spin around. This is an unforgettable and unusual tour of a Europe at odds with much of the modern world. 87 pages. Codice articolo 1367564
