Reseña del libro "Walking Upside Down (en Inglés)"

This story begins in the freezing Hungarian rain with a backpack, a pair of sandals, and a mission: to see the world upside down as Saint Martin had done in the 4th century. Recounting this journey, Johannes Maria Schwarz, a priest and seasoned pilgrim with more than 20,000 miles behind him, delivers a travel diary unlike any other. Facing ice-crusted tents in winter, finding many a church door locked, and watching the first swallows as spring gives way to summer, the author invites readers into the sometimes unglamorous 3-mph-reality of a 2,100 mile pilgrimage. But as the physical journey grounds itself in sweat and blisters, the inner journey takes wings. Each chapter unfolds a rich tapestry of European memory—weaving together Roman legionnaires, Attila the Hun, 18th-century reusable coffins, and Joseph Haydn’s stolen skull.Along the way, the true heart of the journey reveals itself in quiet works of mercy: a barber giving dignity to the homeless, a priest ensuring the forgotten poor are buried with their names intact, the “crew” on a boat serving as a parish, and people practicing radical hospitality. Schwarz holds the funeral of a bank robber in Europe's largest cemetery and is given a bar of chocolate by a prison inmate on the border of Bavaria.Equal parts laugh-out-loud comedy, sweeping history, and spiritual manifesto, this book invites the reader to follow a beloved Saint in turning the "logic of the world" on its head.
