Description
A story about a pilgrimage to a sacred mountain. The book is primarily inspired by Korean myths. A group of pilgrims sets out to plead for mercy for an empire plagued by disasters... and of course, everyone wants something for themselves; just some 'trifles' that will shake the story up. The Wind in the Pines is a story about life. Everything else; struggle and suffering, betrayal so bitter it turns the stomach; hope, creaking like the wheel of an old cart; the entire journey reminiscent of ancient Chinese legends with secret masters, brave warriors, courtesans smelling like twilight flowers, and - of course - old men with brooms, all serve as the backdrop. Perfect and precise backdrops for a story that will strip the pilgrims of their clothes, skin, and flesh down to the bone.
