Description
Pilgermann is a mesmerising recreation of the world of the Crusades, set against a backdrop of picaresque horror and a desperate wish for salvation. A traveller arrives in Antioch with a vision of a beautiful geometric design that will change the lives of all who see it.
The world according to Pilgermann is a complex and often brutal place, drawing on themes of mystery, metaphysics, and allegory. This dark and thought-provoking novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in historical fiction, fantasy, or philosophical inquiry.
