Maggiori informazioni sul libro

'Pilgrim', is the story of a man who cannot die. Ageless, sexless, deathless and timeless, 'Pilgrim' has inhabited endless lives and times. On April 15, 1912 - ironically, the date of the sinking of the Titanic - 'Pilgrim' fails, once again, to commit suicide, his heart miraculously beginning again, five hours after he is found hanging from a tree. Admitted to the Burgholzi Psychiatric Clinic in Zurich, by his dear friend Lady Sybil Quartermaine, Pilgrim - at first, stubbornly mute - begins a battle of psyche and soul with Carl Jung, self-professed mystical scientist of the unconscious and slave to his own sexual appetites. Poring over Pilgrim's journals in his quest to penetrate his patient's armour of silence, Jung is both confounded and shaken by the extraordinary revelations of other existences. 'Pilgrim' is a richly-layered story of a man's search for his own destiny - superbly crafted, breathtaking in scope and brilliantly imagined.
