This is a journey into the songlines of memory and imagination: the unique view of a 'Westerner' on his heritage and what it might hold for us in this age of communication overload, conflict and environmental crisis. The landscapes of this journey release their tales of civilisation, of songs of creation, of myth, of spiritual vision, of man’s age old quest through life. This book is the fruit of many years of research. It is a novel and, in the same breath, a guidebook for the physical and metaphysical traveller: a rich, compelling invitation to explore the ribbons of stories woven into the landscapes of Italy.
