Initially, the Camino de Santiago is a path, a network of roads that lead to the relics of the Apostle James. However, this path has long since become something more. Stepping on the road, you never know what will be waiting ahead: what meetings and trials, and, in the end, what exactly you will see at the end. This uncertainty is part of the magic of the Camino, for which people set out on the journey.
"The best book about the Camino" is the story of a road with a thousand names and faces. The beginning of one story becomes the end of another, and vice versa; old friends and strangers meet here, people fall in love and make fateful decisions, and sometimes someone is found or lost. But no matter how many events happened on this Path, no matter how you covered it: on foot, by bicycle, in the company, or alone, this road never ends. Having taken the first step, a person spends the rest of his life in search because the true pilgrimage does not lead to a specific point; it is directed inside yourself.
Maksym Bespalov's novel-reportage is a whimsical combination of real and fictional stories that meticulously intertwine and form a single pattern that begins with the first step on the Way of St. James. "I don't know anyone who went on the Way of St. Jacob just to walk," Maxim. — On this road, everyone is looking for something, but they are looking for something unique and special. Is it special? Is it special? Some really do find it."
Maksym Bespalov is a traveler and writer. He visited 70 countries, some of which he described in his own books. So, in the book "Everything You Know about Ireland is True, but..." depicts the history of the Emerald Peninsula, and the book "Ukrainian Svalbard. Bears, Coal and Communism" — the history and present of the Arctic archipelago.
