Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal which Tim Moore is at least slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and strangely committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela. The pair bring smiles to every local face they meet, and not all of brazen derision. Over 500 miles of extreme weather and agonising bestial sloth and triple-bunk dormitories, it becomes memorably apparent that for the multinational band of eccentrics who keep the Santiagan flame alive, the pilgrimage has evolved from a purely devotional undertaking into a mobile therapist's couch.
