Description
Robert Martineau's journey on foot is a spellbinding account of self-discovery and transformation. After leaving his office job, he embarks on a 1,000-mile pilgrimage through Ghana, Togo and Benin, to Ouidah, an ancient spiritual centre on the West African coast.
Along the way, Martineau meets a diverse range of individuals, from shamans and priests to historians and archaeologists. Through his encounters with these people, he begins to build connections with the natural world and the past, ultimately finding meaning in his life.
This beautifully written book is a testament to the power of solitude and escape, offering insights into the psychology of walking and pilgrimage. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in travel, self-discovery and the human experience.
