A Journey to Mount Athos

Year: 2004
Country: USA
Publisher: Pushkin Press
Author: François Augiéras, Sue Dyson

Synopsis

In his own preface to this remarkable novel, Augiéras describes its theme as "a sojourn in the Land of Spirits, according to the strictest Buddhist or Phythagorean orthodoxy". One might equally well describe it as a kind of Buddhist Pilgrim's Progress, with the protagonist's wanderings mirroring his journey towards spiritual enlightenment.

Among his best-loved novels, A Journey to Mount Athos not only expands upon all the themes Augiéras introduced before in The Sorcerer's Apprentice -- the immortality of the spirit, God, magic in the natural world, reincarnation, homosexuality -- it also tells us more about the author himself, as the work was inspired by his retreats to Mount Athos and the time he spent with the Orthodox monks.
