Using Moschos's writings as his guide and inspiration, the acclaimed travel writer William Dalrymple retraces the footsteps of these two monks, providing along the way a moving elegy to the slowly dying civilization of Eastern Christianity and to the people who are struggling to keep its flame alive. The result is Dalrymple's unsurpassed masterpiece: a beautifully written travelogue, at once rich and scholarly, moving and courageous, overflowing with vivid characters and hugely topical insights into the history, spirituality and the fractured politics of the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Dalrymple is the author of seven acclaimed works of history and travel, including \u003ci\u003eCity of Djinns\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Young British Writer of the Year Prize and the Thomas Cook Travel Book award; the bestselling \u003ci\u003eFrom the Holy Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eWhite Mughals\u003c\/i\u003e, which won Britain's most prestigious history prize, the Wolfson; and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Mughal\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Duff Cooper Prize for History and Biography.
