1200 Jahre sind seit der legendauml;ren Auffindung der Gebeine des Apostels Jakobus vergangen. Die Wallfahrt legt Zeugnis ab von der geistlichen und kulturellen Entwicklung Europas seit dem Mittelalter. Wolfgang Metternich kennt den Jakobsweg von vielen Reisen. Er fragt nach den Motiven der Pilger; beleuchtet die anhaltende Heiligenverehrung und besucht Kirchen; Klouml;ster und Kathedralen. Seine Vorliebe gilt vor allem den stillen Orten und abgelegenen Pfaden; die man abseits der Touristenstrouml;me immer noch finden kann. Die Jakobswallfahrt ist und bleibt ein faszinierendes Phauml;nomen; wie dieser Band in Texten und Bildern anschaulich belegt.

The Columbia of My YouthBy mlidinskyI grew up in Columbia from 1967 until I moved away in 1984. It was a very special time in Columbia and still under the control of James Rouse. I often wish that the country was like Columbia. We certainly wouldnt have the hate crimes going on in such numbers. Columbia was all about integration encompassing income levels; ethnicity and religion. A beautiful childhood in a beautiful community.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great little book for my hometownBy R. JacobsI thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The pictures filled in the blanks from the places and stories I knew of growing up in Columbia. And the writing is clear; prosaic and informative. A very well done little memoir for my hometown.
