Publisher's summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
It is 1097, and a traveller arrives in the great, walled city of Antioch with a vision of a beautiful and mysterious geometric design that will change the lives of all those who see it. Pilgermann is a mesmerising recreation of the world of the Crusades, following its unlikely hero and those he meets on a journey of picaresque horror across a Europe of hatreds, visions and a desperate wish for salvation.
Critic reviews
"Superb.... Pilgermann is history, metaphysics, a tangle of mysteries, profound and simple." (Guardian)
"A dark treatise on the mysterious nature of things.... The world according to Pilgermann is a brutish place borrowing from Hieronymus Bosch, pilgrimage narrative, allegory and the historical novel." (The New York Times Book Review)
"A strange and beautiful work." (Evening Standard)

At times horrifying, always poetic, often sublime
One of the profoundest and most haunting novels I’ve read. It presents a Job-like wrestling with suffering and God and the meaning of living in and journeying through an impossible age; at times horrifying, always poetic, often sublime. The performance of the actor on this audio production is superb.
