Pilgrimage to the Sea (classic Foreign Novella)
General Fiction海上朝香客（外国中篇小说经典）
(sweden) Per Lagerqvist
This book includes "Pilgrims at Sea" and "The Death of Asverus". It is the author's late masterpiece and has a strong religious flavor, but the author's superb narration turns them into very beautiful stories. These two stories coexist in two lines. The first part of "Pilgrim at Sea" tells the story of the pilgrim Dubias who missed the ship to the Holy Land and had to board a pirate ship; the second story is about Giovanni, a former priest on the pirate ship, who personally tells the story of how he was excommunicated from the church because of love. "The Death of Asverus" seems to be a prequel to the first chapter. The main part tells the story of why Dubias embarked on the pilgrimage. The auxiliary plot is the story of Asverus who was exiled by God.
