Step on board for a journey. We’ll find ourselves dropping anchor in new harbours and we’ll see things we haven’t seen before. Destinations that are surprising, and ones that are often dangerous.

Nine short stories set in the past, the present and the future.

This book restores the Middle Ages to its true form—not as caricatured by the Enlightenment or romanticized by later centuries, but as it truly was: contradictory, luminous, and trembling between faith and reason. Here, the history of philosophy is not a dry sequence of doctrines, but a living journey of human thought—from dogma to freedom, from darkness to light, from monastery to university.
