A wonderfully wry and amusing account of what it is like to be a modern-day pilgrim. . . . The author . . . describes looking up and seeing a fighter jet screaming overhead. 'It would take a jet less than an hour to get to Santiago,' Freund cannot help reflecting, 'and we still have six weeks ahead of us. We are walking anachronisms.' Yet it is precisely the anachronistic quality of what he is doing that makes it so fascinating a theme., Conveys the excitement and anxieties of the pilgrim, colored with tales of hospitality that echo Patrick Leigh-Fermor's walk to Constantinople. There is something of Chaucer, too, in his evocation of that singular bond among foot travellers., A wonderfully wry and amusing account of what it is like to be a modern-day pilgrim. . . .

Synopsis
Each year, over 200,000 people pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Often called the Way of St. James, this journey has been an important Christian tradition for centuries. The Road to Santiago is one man's incredible story of walking almost a thousand miles to experience it. As Ren Freund learns, when you reach the edge of the European continent having walked along the Way of St. James--which pilgrims of former times thought to be the end of the world--only then do you realize that the old pilgrim's saying is true: the journey does not end in Santiago. The journey begins in Santiago. In this vivid travelogue, Freund not only introduces us to the overwhelming natural beauty he encountered along the way, but also shares his experience of reaching his physical and psychological limits during the arduous journey., Each year, over 200,000 people pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

The journey begins in Santiago. In this vivid travelogue, Freund not only introduces us to the overwhelming natural beauty he encountered along the way, but also shares his experience of reaching his physical and psychological limits during the arduous journey., "I felt that if I could reach the end of the continent, I would find the answer to some important question there," writes Paul Auster in Moon over Manhattan. "I had no idea what this question might be, but the answer to it was already preconceived in my steps. I only had to keep going in order to discover that I had left myself behind and was no longer the same person as before."  When you reach the edge of the continent having walked along the Way of St James, which pilgrims of former times thought to be the end of the world, only then do you realize that the old pilgrim's saying is true: the journey does not end in Santiago. The journey begins in Santiago. In this vivid travelogue René Freund not only introduces the reader to the overwhelming natural beauty he encountered during the most popular pilgrimage in the Christian world, but also shares with them his experience of reaching his physical and psychological limits during this arduous journey on foot to the 'end of the world'.

    Great seller. Book arrived within a reasonable time frame and was packaged in a protective wrapping. The condition of the book was "Very Good," as was described and includes a "Very Good" dust jacket with award stickers. Great value, extremely fair price. I'm always happy to do business with this trusted seller.
