Theonun Kutsal Yolculuğu

Theo's Sacred Journey Book Description

Catherine Clément, who created a stir by novelizing the history of 20th century philosophy with her book The Devil's Whore, writes a novel of the history of religions in this book. In this book, the reader will accompany the nine-month journey of a fourteen-year-old boy who struggles to hold on to life with faith and consciousness, and his aunt Marthe, who has an extraordinary personality.

The first stop of the aunt and her nephew, who set out from Paris, is the Holy City of Jerusalem. Then, they travel from the pyramids of Egypt to the majestic cathedrals of Rome and the dazzling mosques of Istanbul to the whirling rituals of the Mevlevis. They extend to Benares, Tokyo, Moscow, Jakarta, New York and Prague.

Along with them, the reader wanders through the rituals of Europe's magnificent churches, Asia's fascinating temples, America's Baptist churches, Africa's deep-rooted local religions, and the mysteries of mystical ceremonies accompanied by tom-toms. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Ancient Egyptian beliefs, Greek and Roman gods become more colorful. The religious scholars they encounter in every city they visit literally open Theo's mind and soul and bring peace to his heart. Theo, who feels the sacred power throughout the journey, sees its presence everywhere and in everything.

While “Theo's Sacred Journey” makes us feel that the common feature between religions is human love and tolerance, it also leads us to discover the chemistry that brings people closer to each other and holds them together.

This book, in addition to providing valuable information about religions, is also a very gripping novel.
