Certain special places move us at a profound level – with a kind of inner beauty that puts us in direct touch with the spirit. It might be a temple, a church, a commemorative monument, a wayside shrine or a landscape feature that is saturated in the ambience of ancient traditions. Such places are worth taking the trouble to visit. They add meaning to our lives, awakening a sense of awe, beauty or tranquillity.
From the prehistoric megaliths of Carnac in Brittany, to the Buddhist temple complex of Borobudur in Java, from the giant medicine wheel at Bighorn, Wyoming in the USA to the Confucian temple of heaven in Beijing, this book will guide you on a journey around a hand-picked selection of 100 of the worlds most spiritually uplifting sites. Accompanying the superb photographs are evocative descriptions of each place, many of them from esteemed writers who share with us their personal responses in their own inimitable style. For travellers wishing to experience these places for themselves, there is a helpful gazetteer packed with practical visitor information at the back of the book.
