Wie erzählen von einer Vergangenheit, die wir selbst nicht erlebt haben? Wie und in welcher Sprache erzählen von und über Geschichten, die wir nicht nachempfinden können? Denn wenn wir sprechen, sprechen wir Gegenwart, in der die Vergangenheit aber mitspricht: Wer also verstehen möchte, was er spricht, muss auch die Sprache der Toten verstehen. Ivna ic öffnet in ihrer autofiktionalen Reflexion Zugänge zu den völlig unterschiedlichen Welten ihrer beiden Großmütter und des schweigsamen Großvaters, in deren Leben sich europäische Geschichte und eine untergegangene Welt spiegeln, die nach wie vor in uns weiterlebt und unser Handeln bestimmt. In zärtlicher Prosa und mit präzisen Beschreibungen geht Ivna ic den Spuren ihrer Ahnen nach und eröffnet einen Ort des Wiedererkennens im anderen und des anderen. Diversität ist horizontal und vertikal, diachron und synchron. ic' Text öffnet sich in einem Durchgang von der Vergangenheit in eine europäische Zukunft, in der sich eine neue, radikale Vielsprachigkeit längst Raum geschaffen hat, und lässt dadurch aus dem Privaten das Politische und aus den neuen Verhältnissen neue Erzählungen entstehen.

Beautiful book with history, destination information, and photos
Format: Hardcover
I knew very little about the Camino de Santiago prior to obtaining this book. However, the book is stunning in its information about destinations, history, towns you'll pass through along the way, and beautiful photos that create desire to hike or bike the trail in the immediate future. I found myself engulfed in this book and wanting to do several of the trails as soon as possible! The book, unlike other DK books I own, is hard cover. It's solid and durable and could easily be a coffee table book rather than a hiking guide. In fact, I think it may be meant in this way to be used rather than a take-along for a long hiking trip. If you're thinking about exploring the Camino de Santiago, this is a must read!

A very good book if you will travel the Camino de Santiago as a pilgrim
Format: Hardcover
This book captures the flavor of each of eight Caminos to reach Santiago de Compostela (there are more than that, but not given more than a mention - these are the main ones). The Caminos take you from where they enter Spain from France and Portugal all the way to Santiago de Compostela; the exception is the one from Lisbon. You can almost "feel" the experience of each walk. The book will help you select a Camino, based on from where you are coming, what you'd like to see (scenery, towns, villagers, etc.), and how much stamina you have.
The book starts off with a wonderful history of the the Caminos from when they were developed through modern times, and how they changed over time, not just in terms of physical changes, but in terms of the types of people who traversed them (pilgrims to hippies) and how they evolved with various religions and politics of the times.
There is a very nice synopses of the eight Caminos, highlighting the differences between them. This provides an overview of why you may or may not consider taking that Camino.
The book then goes into detail about each one, elaborating on what I wrote in the first paragraph above. This is where one gets an excellent "feel" for the Camino, enabling you to determine if it is for you or not. It also gives you basics on things to see and do along the way, including places that would be great and welcoming for pilgrims. Don't expect too much detail here, but certainly enough to give you the flavor of the Camino. All sections, but especially this one, have excellent photos to complement the text.
The culminating chapter, of course, is the one on Santiago de Compostela. This one was a bit disappointing, as it provided only a bit over one page of text on the sites there. I would have thought there would be more, especially about the Cathedral itself, as that is the destination the travelers had spent days to reach. Instead, it basically just listed a bit more than bullets of what to see in the Cathedral. One third of the text in this Chapter was about the museums. There was practically nothing about the squares around each side of the Cathedral and all the places along them. For this city, I would suggest a different tour book if you want to see more.
I have the hard cover book, which was very nice for me to read at home. However, if I were to go on one of the Caminos, I would take no more than a Kindle, which is nowhere near as unwieldy as a large, heavy book. If I didn't like Kindles, I would want to bring a paperback, but sadly, the book is not available in paperback.
Overall, I believe that the way the author enables one to experience the Caminos is well worth the cost of the book.

great guide to hiking (or biking) the Camino de Santiago trails
Format: Hardcover
Spain is one of my favorite European destinations, and while I have not done the Camino de Santiago yet, it is an area that is definitely on my radar for an upcoming trip. This book focuses on the trails and the regions they pass through, and gives quite a bit of detail and background to successfully plan a trip there.
Now, I am not religious, and I am purely interested in the historical and cultural aspects of the region, not looking to have a spiritual experience. Fortunately the book is written in such a way that it is respectful to those who *are* looking for the latter, but it doesn't focus on it as much as I feared that it might. So it'll be useful to me in planning my travels.
The one issue that I have about this book, which I *almost* took a star off of my rating for, is that the book is a little *too* sturdy. My big complaint with the regular DK travel guides in recent years is that they've gone to cheaper paper, cheaper covers, and cheaper binding than they used to use, to the point that they feel almost fragile to me. This book, ironically made as a guide for hiking and biking trips, has the opposite problem... It's hardcover, and it's kind of bulky. I mean, that's great, normally I'd be in favor of that... But if I'm going to be hiking for days or weeks (some of the trails in this book take over three weeks to complete according to the book), the last thing I'm going to want to do is carry this thing around. It's a little baffling that they'd choose this of all books to make hardcover.
Honestly, though, I am probably not hiking (at least not for a multi-week trail... maybe for a few days in there, for the rest I'll take a train or rent a car), which is why I decided not to remove a star. But if you will be hiking, it may be something you'll want to consider.

Very beautiful book
Format: Hardcover
It’s not only a tour guide but rather a detail record of the Camino de Santiago history book and the pictures inside this book look so beautiful you may only find in specialized photo albums.

Wonderful resource
Format: Hardcover
This spectacular pilgrim guide title Walking the Camino de Santiago, is an excellent production that provides helpful guidance on anything a pilgrim would need to know prior to making this well-known pilgrimage via some not-so-well-known routes and tips. This book stands out in excellence with its simplicity and yet thoroughness in providing chapters on the possible eight pilgrimage routes with history on each one. It provides tips and practical information on things to check out as part of the geographical and cultural landmarks, food, accommodations, etc. The illustrations and photographs in this book make it a stunning work of art and resource.
Anyone considering doing this pilgrimage/ retreat would benefit from this book. If nothing else, this book can be gifted to someone considering doing the Camino, and it would make an excellent coffee table conversation starter.
