They told of a pilgrim, a lone wanderer, led by his quiet curiosity and a deep spiritual longing to undertake a lifelong journey across the land. The story of this gentle figure and his travels - through forests, fields and steppes, encountering priests and professors, nuns and convicts on the way - became a beloved spiritual guide around the world, immortalized in the pages of J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey as the 'small pea-green cloth-bound book' that Franny keeps close in her handbag. At its heart, it is a paean to peace, prayer, consolation and silent contemplation. \n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eTranslated with an introduction and notes by Andrew Louth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Louth","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48604129657075,"sku":"9780241201350","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780241201350.jpg?v=1773898937","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-way-of-a-pilgrim-andrew-louth-9780241201350","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
