Publisher's Synopsis
Along the Way is unique among contemporary Camino publications in that it is part travelogue, part literary review, and part cultural commentary. Readers can follow Robert France's own pilgrimage along his "namesake road" through focused and succinct excerpts from his journal that are accompanied by numerous photographs. The book also provides the first interpretation of the prevalent themes-adventure, joy, contact, and contemplation-covered in the published literature of modern Camino accounts. Finally, the book undertakes the first illumination of the modern cultural phenomena of the Camino through surveying the zeitgeist of the Way.
