Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Estranged from the 'realities' of modern life, Cathal retreats to his Welsh cottage far from the city. The road running nearby follows the old Roman highway, transformed by legend into 'The Bright Road', and in the wood above Cathal's house, in a time overlapping the present, a sixth-century woodsman, the Tracker, watches the movement of beast and man. Eerily caught between the twentieth century and a past age in which men and armies march inexorably towards the end of Tracker's world, Cathal is on his own strange trajectory, not only towards spiritual illumination and shamanistic flight, but also injury and psychic fragmentation. Visionary Lunatic That is, perhaps, for the reader to decide.
