Excerpt from The Wanderer: A Tale of Life's Vicissitudes My story has a moral, too: but what it is I shall leave the' reader to discover. I shall not resort to the practice of the ancient painters, who wrote under their pictures, This is a horse, or, This is a cow; as the case might be, in order to prevent misconception. If the reader be unable to discern my moral, I confess that I shall have failed in my purpose but I trust that such will not be the case, or at least I hope, should things turn out so unfortunately, he will find a moral in my story of his own making, which if it be a good one, will answer the purpose equally as well, and perhaps be more.

By the mercy of God I am a Christian, by my deeds a great sinner, by calling a homeless wanderer of the lowliest origins, roaming from place to place. Here, see my belongings: a bag of dry crusts on my back and the Holy Bible in my breast pocket; that's it. In 1884 there appeared in Russia a slim volume containing four short tales. They told of a pilgrim, a lone wanderer, led by his quiet curiosity and a deep spiritual longing to undertake a lifelong journey across the land. A folk hero, a figure familiar from the works of Tolstoy and Leskov, this gentle pilgrim and his simple story would soon travel the world - and would even, much later, traverse the pages of JD Salinger's Franny and Zooey as the 'small pea-green cloth-bound book' that Franny keeps close in her handbag. The pilgrim's ancient journey takes him from a city monastery through forests, fields and the steppes of Siberia. He walks by day and by night, through rains and summer months, finding food and shelter where he can. Along the way, he encounters priests and professors, convicts, nuns and beggars, a tipsy old man in a soldier's greatcoat, from whom he slowly gathers great stores of wisdom and experience. But at the heart of his journey is his time spent praying as he journeys on alone, discovering the peace and consolation that come of constant prayer and silent contemplation. Simple and sincere, The Way of a Pilgrim paints an enduring picture of a life of detachment through wandering and prayer. And, as the pilgrim makes his way through the wilds, he invites us to travel with him, along an ancient path into an immense, mystical landscape.
This enduring work of Russian spirituality has charmed countless people with its tale of a nineteenth-century peasant's quest for the secret of prayer. Readers follow this anonymous pilgrim as he treks over the Steppes in search of the answer to the one compelling question: How does one pray constantly? Through his journeys, and under the tutelage of a spiritual father, he becomes gradually more open to the promptings of God, and sees joy and plenty wherever he goes. Ultimately, he discovers the different meanings and methods of prayer as he travels to his ultimate destination, Jerusalem. The Way of a Pilgrim is a humble story ripe for renewed appreciation today. The recent changes in Russia have revealed the great religious traditions of that land, and this work, freshly translated for modern times, is among the finest examples of those centuries-old traditions.
Excerpt from Three Years of a Wanderer's Life, Vol. 1 of 2 I am not writing "memoirs" at the age of thirty under the impression that I have any record of great general interest to offer, or any very extraordinary adventures to narrate. On the contrary, it is my knowledge of the many who are passing through similar experiences that encourages me to hope my circumstantial narrative may possess interest for the public.

Excerpt from Way-Marks in the Life of a Wanderer: The Incidents Taken From Real Life A few years ago I visited some friends in Georgia, and there gleaned the incidents upon which I based the contents of this little volume. If I have some times mingled the experiences of my own life with the Wanderings of the fair Marcia, the reader will please forgive me, and admit that a certain degree of fiction must be allowed in names of persons and places. Of the religious tendency of my work I would only say, to read it will be to convince you that I have written, praying as I wrote, that God's Spirit might descend upon me, and teach me how to benefit my fel low creatures.

Excerpt from The Pilgrims' Way: A Little Scrip of Good Counsel for Travellers Again, the pilgrim is doing what the race has done constantly for many thousands of years; and to any one with a catholic mind (no matter what his creed) this ought to be a tremendous argument. Lastly, he is putting into drama and acting for him self that parable which - ao true is it - has in one way and another inspired the very best books in the world among them the Odyssey, the Eneid, the Divine Comedy, Don Quixote. All these are but different versions of the Pilgrim' s Progress: and if this little book dares to follow the parable, it is because a truth so universal covers the small equally with the great.
