Product Description
Product Description
In their search for a deeper meaning to life and to balance the stress and anxiety of most western lifestyles increasing numbers are taking time out to go on a pilgrimage. Many of them choose that most famous pilgrim's route the Camiño de Compostella. In fact the number of pilgrims along this path has increased tenfold over the past decade to an average of 44000 per annum. Shirley Maclean's book describing her own pilgrimage The Camiño contributes to increasing this number every year and the upcoming Holy Year of St. James in 2004 will attract ever more seekers. John Brierley walked the Camiño and was bitten by the bug. Not only has he now walked many of the major paths to Santiago but he has also explored some of the less well known pilgrim's paths still to be discovered by the masses. This book the first of a series of nine is a guide to one of these pilgrimages. The path from Santiago to Finisterre - the end of the World. While this is a path that is being discovered by more and more pilgrims there is a dearth of information published about it. While small and light enough to put in the pilgrim's pocket the book includes: o Detailed easy-to-follow colour maps of the route o Comprehensive town plans o Contour guides o Overview route planner o Many colour photographs o Inspiring descriptions of the author's experiences Here is a book worth reading just for the pure pleasure and delight of it. It will be of invaluable help to the pilgrim and an inspiration for those who only dream of such adventures.
Synopsis
Finis-terre translates simply as "end of the world", and provided a dramatic focal point for one of the most potent western vision quests in the medieval world. It was here that the material and spiritual worlds met. Beyond the horizon was tir na nog - the land of eternal youth. Its potency is not lost on the pilgrims that still come here, seeking to reconcile the inner and outer realities in their lives. This guidebook seeks to find the balance between these worlds by following a practical and mystical path for each stage along the way. Offering inspirational quotations, it endeavours to pay equal respect to both. The book offers a practical and mystical manual for the modern day pilgrim with colour photographs and fold-out maps showing all the different routes to Santiago and Finisterre, together with a diary to record both outer and inner experiences.
