Just before the year 1000, a young Viking named Thorvald the Far-farer turned his back on the pagan gods of his fathers to preach the Christian gospel, travelling to Jerusalem, the golden heart of all medieval world maps.
A thousand years later Victoria Clark retraces his epic voyage to discover how the dramatic events of Thorvald's Europe still resonate today.
This is a compelling, highly acclaimed blend of history and travel, in the manner of William Dalrymple's bestselling 'From The Holy Mountain'.
