Description This book is about a remarkable man, Giovanni Maria de Agostini, born in Italy in 1801, who combined two seemingly contradictory aspirations: a fervent desire to devote his whole life to "perfect solitude" and an Astonishing urge to travel incessantly.
Following extensive travel in Europe, Agostini takes vows revocable only by formal d.
As his decisions and actions emerge from the lightless silence - the time-covered past - a unifying purpose becomes evident.
