Ebook About
What happens when a classics-trained, half-a-century-lapsed Irish-American Catholic sets out to walk not one, but two Caminos, the thousand-year-old pilgrimage routes that lead through a vast arc of European history and culture to culminate in the revered burial place of the Apostle St. James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain? This rich and unusual book, a day-to-day and densely-photographed account of one apostate pilgrim’s journey, carries the reader through forests, farmers’ fields and vineyards, mountains, ancient battle sites, and famous cities, first on the popular inland Camino Francés; and then along the wild, rugged coast of northern Spain on the Camino del Norte.Like the thousands who walk the Camino as a religious experience, a physical accomplishment, or a prism to re-focus their lives, this thoughtful, but always irreverent, skeptic charts both an outward and an inner journey. As Tom Connell tracks his doubts, questions, and inner turmoil, he also delivers a large dose of both sardonic and refreshing humor. In equal measure, his recorded stories, pictures, insights, and belly-laughing incidents relay the joy of his journey — the beauty of the landscape and the architecture, the layered complexity of history, the simple grace of the Spanish people, and the healing calm of inner reflection and solitude.

Book Shadow of a Pilgrim: An Apostate Walks Two Caminos in Spain Review :



This witty, thoughtful and engaging narrative takes the reader on two 500 mile journeys along the two “Caminos” that traverse the northwest of Spain – every step of the way by foot. As I read the book, I found myself learning, laughing, and vicariously living the “Camino experience.”The author has keen powers of observation, a biting humor -- directed as much at himself as the international cast of fellow “pilgrims” of all types he encounters along the way -- and an encyclopedic knowledge of the architecture, and cultural and political history of Spain. Whether it was my wondering whether he would ever re-connect with the beautiful and intelligent Swedish woman he encountered early in his first trip, or my looking forward to his exploration of the architectural treasures of a Spanish coastal village of which I had never heard, I did not want to put the book down.So for anyone that has walked the Camino, thought about walking the Camino, or -- like me -- never thought of hiking further than a trip from the couch to the refrigerator, this book is a fascinating travel guide, and so much more.The many photos and vivid, informed descriptions of the many landmarks along the way -- from the beautiful churches in cities and small villages, to the gorgeous countryside and beaches of coastal Spain, to the spectacular Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, to even the statue of El Cid and the questionable history behind his folk hero status – make this the thinking person’s travel book. (I bought the Kindle version for reading while traveling and the hardcover for even more beautiful renderings of his many gorgeous photos.)But Mr. Connell’s pen also took me on another trip, into the inquisitive, reflective, and self-aware mind of a man at a life juncture. He is a talented, successful big firm lawyer (ret.) who humorously derides that “hellish” existence, a man in his 60’s conscious of the loss of youth but in better shape than almost any 30-something, and a self-described “apostate” with an antipathy to organized religion who walks 1,000 miles through storms, wild dogs, dangerous passages, and every imaginable challenge to complete a “pilgrimage” for the religious. To borrow from Winston Churchill, his book reveals a brilliant, somewhat obsessive mind that is a bit of “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.” It makes for a fascinating journey in every way.
Through skillful description and beautiful photographs, Mr. Connell chronicles two Caminos. His acerbic and rebounding humor combine with the succor and simple pleasures of a journey sustained by good wine ( and stronger brews), ancient architecture, recollected literature and history, mountain vistas, peaceful farms and vineyards and roaring seas; and the solitude of silence , for a unique and reflective story.
