Embark on a Journey Through Time and MiraclesThis idea came to me in the picturesque landscape of Kashubia. At first it seemed somewhat unconventional, but that only fueled the enthusiasm for its realisation. Imagine blending contemporary characters and events with the fascinating stories and figures from the medieval Codex Calixtinus, a book chronicling twenty-two miracles of the Saint James the Apostle. Each miracle was meticulously verified for authenticity, providing a captivating backdrop for this novel.Enter Michael, a 35-year-old with a keen eye and a sceptical mind, representing the modern world with all its knowledge and prejudices. Michael, a well-travelled corporate professional finds himself mysteriously transported to the Middle Ages. Will Michael’s modern approach and analytical thinking clash with medieval world, or will he find a deeper connection that transcends time? This spellbinding adventure intertwines the present with the past, inviting readers to explore the timeless power of faith and the enduring spirit of the Camino de Santiago.

Berenika Seryczynska obtained her PhD on the topic of the Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James), an adventure that began in 2013 when, setting off from Porto, she took a large rubbish bag with her instead of a rain cape. A year later, after coming across an advertisement for ‘become a volunteer in Spain’, she travelled to Santiago de Compostela for four months, and during conversations with pilgrims, she realized that the Camino is therapeutic. She then began to explore the scientific meanings of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and is still discovering how this path leads her.

Ultreia! I recommend this fantastic book not only to Camino pilgrims ! I read it with great interest and trust me, I know what I'm talking about! Wonderfully written about Wonders of miracles – I immediately liked the concept of traveling "through time" – and I wasn't disappointed! Thoughtful, funny, and specific knowledge about a key medieval manuscript for Jacobean culture and the Camino de Santiago, the Codex Calixtine. A perfect gift for a Camino pilgrim for the upcoming holidays… Thank you to the author for a wonderful book to popularize the cult of St. James the Greater, the European Act of St. John Paul II, and the Ways of St. James. Have a great reading and … Buen Camino!

I just finished reading it and I think it's a lot of good work - showing the youth that it's possible to live and function differently - just like the pilgrims show here...
