Norman Lewis's A Single Pilgrim is a deeply personal account of his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain, in 1984. Lewis, a renowned historian and essayist, sets out on the journey to fulfill a vow he made as a young man, and becomes enmeshed in the spiritual life of the medieval town.
Lewis's luminous writing captures the essence of the pilgrimage and the people he meets on his way. He is drawn into the life of the cathedral and its monks, and to the simple, devout pilgrims who come from all over the world to visit the tomb of St. James. Lewis conveys the spirit of the town and the simple beauty of the countryside. He also captures the spiritual turmoil he experiences as he wrestles with his own faith. A Single Pilgrim is a remarkable and moving book that brings to life the spiritual journey of a remarkable man.; 8vo; 247 pages.
