Krátky popis
Winner - Edward Stanford Travel Memoir of the Year 2019. Longlisted
for the Rathbones Folio Prize. 'An extraordinary travelogue,
strange and brilliant' iIn 2013 Guy Stagg made a pilgrimage from
Canterbury to Jerusalem.Though a non-believer, he began the journey
after suffering several years of mental illness, hoping the ritual
would heal him. For ten months he hiked alone on ancient paths,
crossing ten countries and more than 5,500 kilometres. The Crossway
is an account of this extraordinary adventure.Having left home on
New Year's Day, Stagg climbed over the Alps in midwinter, spent
Easter in Rome with a new pope, joined mass protests in Istanbul
and survived a terrorist attack in Lebanon. Travelling without
support, he had to rely each night on the generosity of strangers,
staying with monks and nuns, priests and families. As a result, he
gained a unique insight into the lives of contemporary believers
and learnt the fascinating stories of the soldiers and saints,
missionaries and martyrs who had followed these paths before
him.The Crossway is a book full of wonders, mixing travel and
memoir, history and current affairs. At once intimate and epic, it
charts the author's struggle to walk towards recovery, and asks
whether religion can still have meaning for those without faith. It
was a BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week' on publication.
