About This Book

A series of episodic sketches follows a young pilgrim and his companion Ontrei as they travel through Karelian landscapes toward the Solovets islands, mixing scenes of village life, weathered wilderness and devotional practices with mysterious guests and uncanny events. Chapters alternate travel narrative, dreamlike visions and lyrical interludes, include moments of flight, skirmish and personal revelation, and close with reflections on untouched nature and a decisive turn toward a changed life.
