{"product_id":"9781542977944","title":"A Pedal Pilgrimage In The Nordics","description":"As with anyone that has been bitten by the biking bug, I can't tell you exactly why I made plans to cycle from Oslo to Helsinki. All I can tell you was that after my other cycling tours were over, the urge was there. \"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.\" Oscar Wilde wrote. \"Resist it and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.\" I wanted to go on a kind of reflective journey to make sense of it all, to take stock as it were. I wanted this to be a different kind of cycling trip; not a bicycle tour --tours are for tourists--but a \"pedalling pilgrimage.\" And where better to go on this kind of pilgrimage but the least religious spot in the Western hemisphere: Norway, Sweden and Finland. To misquote Sinatra: if I can meet God there, I can meet God anywhere. As a follow up to his first book \"To St Petersburg With Love,\" author Mel Cormican is on a quest for a spiritual enlightenment and awakening in the Nordics. Can he make sense of his own particular journey in the context of the religious and philosophical history of Europe?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMel Cormican\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eFeb 10, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e204 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1542977940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781542977944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50325972615473,"sku":"9781542977944","price":13.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781542977944__06737.jpg?v=1732045281","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781542977944","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
