Description
The book owes its inspiration to The Odyssey, the great epic poem written in circa 800BC by Homer, reputed to be the father of European literature. The struggles and triumphs of its protagonist Ulysses are interpreted as a metaphor of life applicable to all ages, sending a very clear message that Man, whatever his adversaries, be they physical, mental or spiritual can safely navigate through life’s never-ending battles. The Mdina Cathedral Museum and its unique archives occupy a special place in this publication not least because this prestigious institution is a veritable crossroad of faith and culture enhanced by famous paintings, unique manuscripts dating from the Middle Ages, the Militia Lists from 1419, and records of the Inquisition, exceptional musical manuscripts and priceless artistic treasures.
The main objective of this book is to provide the discerning layman with a comprehensive review of the rich historical, archaeological, cultural, musical and ecclesiastical heritage of the Maltese archipelago written by Lino Bugeja – Cultural Journalism Award Winner for 2016.
