I vowed a vow there to go to Rome on Pilgrimage

and see all Europe which the Christian Faith has saved;

and I said, "I will walk all the way and take advantage

of no wheeled thing...and be present at High Mass in

St. Peter's on the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul."

This story of adventurous pilgrimage rambles through the fields of France, the mountains of Switzerland, and the plains of Italy. Belloc's own favorite among his books, The Path to Rome recounts a pilgrimage on foot from the author's birthplace in France to the Eternal City. Along the way he must find shelter, food, and directions. Stopping every few pages for a swig of local wine, his thoughts wander as much as his feet, covering topics as wide ranging as:

Devices for Ending BooksOn Justice in ArmiesThoughts on French Folk-LoreThe Value of BakersThe Tradition of Mankind and Ordinary Living

He also ponders the nature of the soul, declares his theory of blessings, and, when caught in loneliness or despair, cheers himself with stories such as that of the Great Barrel, the story of the Old Sailor, the story of the Devil and the Learned Man, and the story of Mr. Hard (to name a few).

In a travelogue devoid of chapters, Belloc carries his reader along at a breakneck pace, stopping only to rest and argue with his imaginary reader, the "Lector." In these altercations with the Lector, Belloc finds he must defend himself, criticize himself, and make fun of himself-and most everything else-for the sake of his sanity and the health of the world. Long a classic and Belloc's best-known work, Os Justi is proud to offer the world a newly typeset edition, complete with all of Belloc's original illustrations.
