Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Gideon Lewis-Kraus arrived in free-spirited Berlin from San Francisco as a young writer in search of a place to enjoy life to the fullest, and to forget the pain his father, a gay rabbi, had caused his family when he came out in middle age and emotionally abandoned his sons. But Berlin offers only unfocused dissipation, frustration and anxiety; to find what he is looking for (though he's not quite sure what it is), Gideon undertakes three seperate ancient pilgrimages, travelling hundreds of miles: the thousand-year old Camino de Santiago in Spain with a friend, a solo circuit of eighty-eight Buddhist temples on the Japanses island of Shikoku, and finally, with his father and brother, a migration to the tomb of a famous Hassidic mystic in the Ukraine. It is on this last pilgrimage that Gideon reconnects with his father, and discovers that the most difficult meeting and meaningful quest of all was the journey of his heart. A beautifully written, thought-provoking and very moving meditation on what gives our lives a sense of purpose, and how we travel between past and present in search of hope for our future. A young secular writer's journey along ancient religious pilgrimage routes in Spain, Japan and the Ukraine leads to a suprise family reconciliation in this literary memoir. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
