Publisher description
A chance meeting with W.B Yeats sets Patrick Bowley on a journey into an unsuspected world of myth and spirit, a journey that brings him into contact with revolutionaries and mystics, Theosophists and Suffragettes. As Patrick's spiritual crisis worsens, a deepening friendship with Jiddu Krishnamirti propels him from the crucible of turn of the century London to the rural Ireland of his childhood. But there he finds not peace but political turmoil and it seems that destiny has plans for Patrick as his conscience forces him into a speaking tour, pleading for peace and a new spiritual covenant, on the eve of the 1916 Easter Uprising. The Pathless Country is the debut novel by the internationally recognised poet, James Harpur. Deftly weaving threads of political history with fin de siecle alternative thought, radicalism and spirituality, James vividly conjures a world of firebrands and mystics, a landscape where the only waymarks are those of the conscience and the spirit
