Book Synopsis Paris to the Pyrenees by : David Downie
Download or read book Paris to the Pyrenees written by David Downie and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part adventure story, part cultural history, this “enjoyably offbeat travelogue” explores the phenomenon of the spiritual pilgrimage (Booklist). Driven by curiosity, wanderlust, and health crises, David Downie and his wife set out from Paris to walk across France to the Pyrenees. Starting on the Rue Saint-Jacques, then trekking 750 miles south to Roncesvalles, Spain, their eccentric route takes 72 days on Roman roads and pilgrimage paths—a 1,100-year-old network of trails leading to the sanctuary of Saint James the Greater. It is best known as El Camino de Santiago de Compostela—“The Way” for short. The object of any pilgrimage is an inward journey manifested in a long, reflective walk. For Downie, the inward journey met the outer one: a combination of self-discovery and physical regeneration. More than 200,000 pilgrims take the highly commercialized Spanish route annually, but few cross France. Downie had a goal: to go from Paris to the Pyrenees on age-old trails, making the pilgrimage in his own maverick way.

Download or read book Walking To Know written by Germán T. Cruz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-14 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a transformational experience presented in the form of a broad meditation upon a walking pilgrimage by an experienced designer on the Camino de Santiago. Tinted with a scholarly lens and a travelogue commentary on places and events during the journey, the work pursues a wider awareness of design purpose and perception based on immediate and past experience. The use of the word “pilgrimage” denotes the nature of the journey beyond mere physical effort and near an extraordinary spiritual and mental enterprise. The emphasis is on walking either physically or fi guratively as a means to the achievement of design knowledge that more fully informs, awakens, and utilizes the body and the senses to produce a superior design articulation. The journey took ten years in preparation with only three months in execution; however, it was not a search for “enlightenment” as much as it was led by a sincere desire to know and to see. To know fi rst hand the places and the people as well as to see the land up close in a manner of receiving a legacy of centuries of presence, culture, and testimony. Truly, to partake of the experience of thousands of other “pilgrims” across 10 centuries and understand their journeys not so much as just a walk of faith but also an enduring legacy that has had critical impact upon design practice. In this manner the design activity is seen more properly understood as a pilgrimage rather than an occupation or a classifi ed profession.. For organizational purposes the book consists of two major sections that complement one another and serve to clarify and amplify both text and testimony. Section One addresses issues of design interest in a holistic rather than a technical manner while Section Two presents a narrative of the experience that serves to place the journey in focus. The symbiotic engagement between the two sections results in a richer narrative of causality that affi rms purpose and consequence of journey. Many conclusions are left to the reader and no strict delimitation is made of discussion boundaries except for the centrality of truth and the guiding power of passion. Without a doubt, this book is about open and truthful personal quests and does not conform to overriding socio-political frameworks of dialogue. Insight is extracted from the author’s experience and scholarship across 40 plus years that results in an animated and challenging dialogue along with a vast and diverse bibliography with works of varied provenance that served to emphasize and support salient and outstanding concepts and ideas with bearing on the quest. The intention was not to produce a treatise or a guidebook but rather to express an experience and its consequences upon a person, a mind, and a spirit with benefi t to design.

Download or read book Push Me, Pull You written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 1402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late Medieval and Renaissance art was surprisingly pushy; its architecture demanded that people move through it in prescribed patterns, its sculptures played elaborate games alternating between concealment and revelation, while its paintings charged viewers with imaginatively moving through them. Viewers wanted to interact with artwork in emotional and/or performative ways. This inventive and personal interface between viewers and artists sometimes conflicted with the Church’s prescribed devotional models, and in some cases it complemented them. Artists and patrons responded to the desire for both spontaneous and sanctioned interactions by creating original ways to amplify devotional experiences. The authors included here study the provocation and the reactions associated with medieval and Renaissance art and architecture. These essays trace the impetus towards interactivity from the points of view of their creators and those who used them. Contributors include: Mickey Abel, Alfred Acres, Kathleen Ashley, Viola Belghaus, Sarah Blick, Erika Boeckeler, Robert L.A. Clark, Lloyd DeWitt, Michelle Erhardt, Megan H.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Je suis convaincu que le vrai chemin, le Chemin de Lumière, va de l'occident à l'orient. C'est-à-dire qu'il part de la cathédrale de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle pour emmener le croyant à Rome (puisque tous les chemins y mènent) et l'initié à Jérusalem. En fait de retour, il s'agirait plutôt d'un retour aux sources... Mais je sens venir une objection... Oui, bien sûr, le croyant peut aussi aller à Jérusalem... Cela va de soi et ça coule... de source ! Quant à moi, je ne sais pas encore où mes pas me mèneront et c'est ce que j'apprécie le plus dans cette pérégrination dont on sait où et quand elle commence et dont on ignore où et quand elle finira. C'est dire que ce « retour » sera un « retour ver le futur » mais ce terme a déjà été utilisé... Alors, passons à l'action !
