Summary: the modern journey
Review: When this work was read, I found myself racing through various myths from long ago to try and figure out from where the author mined the insights.If I had it to over, I would have suspended any forethought or free associating and given way to the individual power of the way that this author told this story - for therein is the magnificent achievement of this book, and that has never been done before.

Summary: A possible road to spirituality
Review: You have to be at least a little bit mystical in order to fully enjoy this book, which is full of mysteries and unexplainable events.
This is the detailed experience of the writer in Spain, along the road to San Tiago, which pilgrims have traveled since the Middle Ages. But this story is a contemporary quest, and it has an interesting and exciting mix of ancient and modern, that in the end leads to learning and understanding the truth.
It is the road that Paolo has to take in order to defend his sword and that will turn him into a Warrior of Light. He is accompanied by his spiritual guide, Petrus, with whom he will walk about 800 km over three months, during which time he will confront himself with his own fears, thoughts, doubts, and weaknesses. It is a pilgrimage that will explain to our main character (and implicitly to us) that our efforts in life are salutary and indispensable. But without results they amount to nothing. Also, the story shows that love makes us stronger and it is this strength that allows us to make the right decision at the right time.
The search of truth is assimilated to a personal search for meaning, for the things that we need in life such as truth, love, joy of life, and spirituality.
I think it will be a very pleasant lecture for everyone who enjoys this kind of story, and it will make you think a lot about your life and the meaningful things in your personal universe.
