Take a vicarious traditional pilgrimage guided by a modern European

A wonderful book! It keeps a nice balance between faithfully recording the ordeals of his pilgrimage on hot weather, etc. , penetrating thoughts about his own life, Hod and the world, and the sometimes unsettling, sometimes heart-warming encounters with fellow pilgrims. At times, a reader not well-acquainted wit German literature and culture might feel a bit left out of puzzling about an allusion. Recommend highly!
