Pilgrimage to the End of the World: The Road to Santiago de Compostela by Conrad Rudolph (May 2004)
Requirements: .pdf Reader | 2.45 Mb | Retail
Overview: Traveling two and a half months and one thousand miles along the ancient route through southern France and northern Spain, Conrad Rudolph made the passage to the holy site of Santiago de Compostela, one of the most important modern-day pilgrimage destinations for Westerners.
In this chronicle of his travels to this captivating place, Rudolph melds the ancient and the contemporary, the spiritual and the physical, in a book that is at once travel guide, literary work, historical study, and memoir.
"I wonder if Conrad Rudolph is a man of few words. He has certainly managed to convey the essence of his 2-1/2 month pilgrimage in only 131 pages. Rudolph describes himself as a man with virtually no belief in "miracles or the otherworldly," yet experiences a deep, life-altering sense of spirituality on his physically punishing trek. Simultaneously a travel guide, with practical information and sensible advice, a brief history of Santiago and the medieval religious psyche, and an insightful, first-hand memoir evoking the texture and trials of the place and the journey. The photos in the second half of the book help bring Rudolph’s eloquent words to life. I don’t keep all of the books I read in my home library, but this one has found a permanent spot." ~Linda Pagliuco, Amazon.comGenre: Non-Fiction, Travel (pilgrimage),
