Our society has made travel (playful) a hallmark of (social) identity; However, it is difficult for him to focus on the feelings that drove his ancestors, because then the itinerary was not exercise, but fatigue, nor was it fun, but duty.
And yet, the roads were filled with pilgrims who put their steps at the service of a spiritual purpose. New customs, looks and skills came and went through those channels. The influence of this human tide was such that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was made to say: Europe was born with pilgrimage and Christianity is its language.
This book condenses the keys to understanding one of the most outstanding phenomena of Western culture.
