Delizioso, ingegnoso e splendidamente progettato' Philip Pullman 'Unicamente magico, ogni pagina offre nuove delizie. Molti libri sono descritti come 'viaggi', ma Follow This Thread lo è davvero' Alan Connor 'Prosa di grado zero meravigliosamente immacolata... un'esperienza coerente ed esaltante' Greg Bright, il 'Re del Labirinto'Intraprendi un viaggio immersivo nel mondo labirintico dei labirinti I labirinti sono antichi quanto l'umanità, i campi di prova degli eroi, i sentieri dei pellegrini, simboli di rinascita spirituale e giardini del piacere per puro intrattenimento. Henry Eliot, coautore dell'acclamato Curiocity, ci conduce in un viaggio tortuoso attraverso il mondo dei labirinti, reali e immaginari, svelando il nostro antico e duraturo rapporto con essi ed esplorando perché continuano ad affascinarci, da Kafka e Kubrick al mito del Minotauro e una ricerca per risolvere la scomparsa del leggendario Re del Labirinto.

Henry Eliot is the creative editor of Penguin Classics. Having studied English Literature at Cambridge University, he has spent the past decade immersed in literature, creating a mass public pilgrimage for the National Trust inspired by William Morris, recreating Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to raise money for the National Literacy Trust and leading a number of literary tours, including a Lake Poets tour of Cumbria and a quest for the Holy Grail based on Malory's Morte Darthur. He was a Trustee of the William Blake literary society for three years. He is the author of Follow This Thread, a maze-like book about the history and psychology of mazes, and Curiocity, written with Matt Lloyd-Rose, an illustrated book of unexpected London journeys and experiences.
Labyrinths are as old as humanity, the proving grounds of heroes, the paths of pilgrims, symbols of spiritual rebirth and pleasure gardens for pure entertainment. Henry Eliot, co-author of the acclaimed Curiocity, leads us on a twisting journey through the world of mazes, real and imagined, unravelling our ancient, abiding relationship with them and exploring why they continue to fascinate us, from Kafka and Kubrick to the myth of the Minotaur and a quest to solve the disappearance of the legendary Maze King.

An immersive journey into the labyrinthine world of mazes - take hold of Ariadne's thread and turn the pageAs a rule, we take care not to get lost, so why should we willingly enter a maze?
