Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (1870-1953) was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. His best travel writing has secured a permanent following. The Path to Rome (1902), an account of a walking pilgrimage he made from central France across the Alps and down to Rome, has remained continuously in print. More than a mere travelogue, The Path to Rome contains descriptions of the people and places he encountered, his drawings in pencil and in ink of the route, humour, poesy, and the reflections of a large mind turned to the events of his time as he marches along his solitary way. At every turn, Belloc shows himself to be profoundly in love with Europe and with the Faith that he claims has produced it. Two of his best known non-fiction works are The Servile State (1912) and Europe and Faith (1920). Among his other works are: Avril: Being Essays on the Poetry of the French Renaissance (1904), The Historic Thames (1907), On Nothing and Kindred Subjects (1908), Hills and the Sea (1913), A General Sketch of the European War (1915), and The Free Press (1917).

This is the delightful story of the pilgrimage Belloc made on foot to Rome in order to fulfill a vow he had made '. . . and see all Europe which the Christian Faith has saved . . . ' In the The Life of Hilaire Belloc Robert Speaight states: 'More than any other book he ever wrote, The Path to Rome made Belloc's name; more than any other, it has been lovingly thumbed and pondered . . . . The book is a classic, born of something far deeper than the physical experience it records' G. K. Chesterton says '. . . He will be a lucky man who can escape . . . into the flaming and reverberating folly of The Path to Rome.' Includes over 70 excellent illustrations by the author himself. First published in 1902. Now republished in a beautiful hardcover edition. 60 lb. quality cream paper, smyth sewn signatures, 281 pages, hardcover.
