Paperback, 94pp. ISBN 9789064810817. Een enorme en lawaaiige wereld waarin alles mag en alles kan: de onze. Daartegenover een kleine en stille gemeenschap met een zich voortdurend herhalend ritme: het klooster. Een groter contrast dan tussen deze twee is nauwelijks denkbaar: overvloed aan informatie tegenover eenzijdig aanbod, lawaai versus stilte, volheid of leegte. In Monnik zonder God schippert Chris van der Heijden met zijn fascinatie voor het kloosterleven. Het verhaal begint met herinneringen aan een katholieke jeugd vol paters en beschrijft vervolgens een eenzame fietstocht naar Santiago de Compostella, lang voordat deze pelgrimsroute Weer in de mode raakte. In het derde deel vertelt Van der Heijden over een reis langs zeven kloosters in West-Europa, Spanje, Frankrijk en Nederland. Het verhaal eindigt in de bergen van Zuid Spanje, met een kort autobiografisch essay over het monnikengevoel en een (zelf)portret van de monnik zonder God. Nieuw.

He spent the last three years in prison in the capital. In 1954 he was exiled from China." - from back cover. Usual library markings. Somewhat above-average wear. Binding brittle.
