While the odyssey traced in Ithaca Is The Journey is highly personal, its central insight relates to the odyssey of all. Spiritual journeyers are invited by these pages to remember the great secret: the Promised Land they are yearning for is somehow the very ground upon which they stand; the haven they hope to find at their journey’s end is, as sages have long mysteriously suggested, no where other than at hand. The paradox of life thus has it that we are to honor our homesickness by continuing to search far and wide and deep, and simultaneously to smile from our mystic’s soul to know that we’re already home. Let another’s evolution from Catholicism to Quakerism with multiple spirit-riches accruing along the way serve to deepen your appreciation of how far or wide or deep your own evolution has taken you, and how close you just might discover yourself to be, even as your sails still catch stiff breezes, to Ithaca.

Sophie and Matteo are young and in love, sharing a dissatisfaction with their bourgeois Italian upbringing. Naturally, like so many other young Westerners in the sixties and seventies, they go to India. But the realities of life in an ashram ignite their differences; Sophie wants to be a tourist and go to Goa and eat shrimp, which Matteo scorns, seeking the ‘real’ India. Pragmatic Sophie is disillusioned by the hardships they encounter, while her husband, who yearns for spiritual fulfillment, sees only the purity of ascetic life, leading him to Mother, a charismatic guru. Trying to reclaim an ailing Matteo, Sophie embarks on a new journey in search for a different truth; that of Mother’s mysterious past. Soon, she finds that the immortal has a history of her own; born in Cairo, she was once Laila, a dancer who toured the world before coming to Bombay to search for ‘divine love’. What each of the three people discover, on their individual quests, is at its heart that ancient truth: that wisdom is found in the journey itself. A stirring, profound exploration of emotional exile, of sacred and profane loves, Journey to Ithaca is a masterful novel.

Eleni Gage, a young journalist living in New York, leaves her Manhattan flat to return to the remote but beautiful Greek village of Lia in northern Greece and rebuild her ruined ancestral home. But this is not just another tale of quaint rustic DIY - the house was the scene of imprisonment and torture, and its ruins are stalked by the ghosts of the Greek Civil War. The story is played out in the stunning mountainous landscape of Epiros, one of the least-visited regions of Europe. As Eleni becomes part of the village, her neighbours and the house come vividly to life while her own disasters, triumphs and self-discoveries are alternately poignant and hilarious. The cast of characters includes Eleni's formidable yet miniscule aunts - the thitsas, who fear that she will be eaten by wolves; her immigrant Albanian builders; and the residents of modern-day Lia, whose feelings about the rebuilding of a house where such terrible events took place are ambivalent at best. Informed by her knowledge of Greece's folklore, literature, language and history, Eleni's story is unfailingly witty and wise. But beneath it all lie the indelible stains of a real-life Greek tragedy.

Journey to Ithaca is an extraordinary memoir about an extraordinary life. Of its author it may well be said, in Shakespeare’s words (from Henry VI, part I, aptly quoted in the prelims): “Who would e’er suppose [he] had such courage and audacity?” From the outset, William Rowland invites his readers to accompany him along his personal journey to Ithaca. It was at Ithaca Mansions in Sea Point, Cape Town, that, at the age of five, a happy little boy lost his vision in consequence of a gunshot through his temple, severing his optic nerves. That was, definitively, the day the light went out. With enormous courage and determination William approached life head-on, achieving what many others might have found too daunting to attempt. Writing with restraint and dignity in Journey to Ithaca, William tells his life story in a series of short chapters marking significant stages and events of his life, recounting the challenges and the achievements in equal measure, and often with gentle humour. What shines through most strongly from this memoir is that at no time has William allowed his blindness to define or limit him and certainly never to deny him the fullness of experience and adventure encountered by the sighted. Intellectual, leader, innovator, activist, author, mentor, as well as loving father—William Rowland fills each of these roles with consummate ability and enthusiasm. His life story thus far, as told in Journey to Ithaca, will inspire all who read it, whether blind or sighted.
