Title : Pilgrim - Timothy Findley - Book
Summary :
April 17, 1912: Two nights after the sinking of the Titanic, a man named Pilgrim, author of a famous book on Leonardo da Vinci, hanged himself in his London garden. He was found the next day, and the certificate of his death was signed by two doctors. Five hours later, his heart began beating again. Death had refused Pilgrim. Refugeed in silence, Pilgrim was admitted to the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich, where one of the doctors, Carl Gustav Jung, was immediately fascinated by this extraordinary case. Is Pilgrim, who claims to have lived several lives, spent time with Leonardo da Vinci, Saint Teresa of Avila, and participated in the construction of Chartres Cathedral, a mythomaniac, a dreaming genius, or the victim of a strange curse? An ambitious, fantastic, metaphysical novel, in which Henry James, Oscar Wilde, Mona Lisa appear... A novel of brilliant and bold construction, with jubilant writing.
