Synopsis

Sons of Thunder is the first of two books based on one summer's 2000 mile trek across southern Europe. It celebrates the adventure of walking medieval pilgrim trails from Andalusian Seville to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in the northwestern Spanish province of Galicia, and brings the reader along the journey in a first-hand way by weaving emails, journal extracts and walking poems.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

'Infected' early on with a want to acquire foreign languages from hearing the musical French Canadian dialect spoken in the homes and streets of Lewiston, Maine, where he was born . . . 'Infected' with a desire to travel ever since his parents bought their VW Westfalia Campmobile back in the late 70's and spent summers traveling throughout New England, to the Canadian Rockies, the Grand Can-yon, Nova Scotia, Florida, and by being deeply stirred by the epic journeys undertaken across Tolkien's Middle Earth . . . 'Infected' with a love for poetry by the late Boston College professor, Richard Hughes, under whose influence the author left his senior year at Boston Col-lege behind and went to study abroad in Nijmegen, Holland . . . 'In-fected' with a worldly appreciation for food by Josefina Yanguas Perez - the proprietor of the Café Pamplona in Harvard Square who used to share the extras from her famous Saturday night dinner parties with Timberlake's then yet inexperienced tongue, while he was a waiter there . . . 'Infected' by Thich Nhat Hanh and the teachers within the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center community with a mindfulness practice after realizing he was empty-handed and tool-less to deal with life's sucker punches . . .
