Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 415 pages. The Crossway is an account of Guy Stagg's ten-mont h walk to Jerusalem. The author sets off from Canterbury on New Y ear's Day, telling his friends and family only that he will be ho me before the year's end. He follows medieval pilgrimage routes t hrough Western Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle East, covering more than five-and-a-half thousand kilometres. He crosses the Al ps in the depths of winter, spends Easter in Rome with the new Po pe, witnesses the summer protests in Istanbul's Taksim Square, an d survives the August 2013 bombings in Tripoli. Each night he sta ys with monks, nuns, priests, and families, gaining a rare insigh t into the lives of contemporary believers. Partly conceived as a n attempt to rebuild himself after several years of mental illnes s, the pilgrimage forces Stagg to test the strength of his recove ry. It also leaves him wondering: what power might ritual have to day for someone without faith? The Crossway is full of head- and heart-expanding wonders: the perfectly observed sights of a chang ing landscape, the fascinating reclamation of marginal history, t he thrill and shock of perilous adventure, and the encounters wit h fellow pilgrims that leave Stagg amused, bemused, and, at times , moved. This a beautiful, inspiring book that will show readers the world afresh and leave their hopes renewed.--. Codice articolo 2144af
