In Moscow, a man is looking at a map of the Caucasus. He is Doukhobor, a 'spirit-wrestler', member of a group of radical Russian sectarians. "Here," he says. "I was born here. On the edge of the world."
So begins Philip Marsden's journey into a strange and ambiguous world - a world where nothing is quite as solid as belief, where miracles area a part of everyday life, and where the Russian steppe gives way to the hostile Caucasian scarp.
"A fascinating, horrifying and inspiring journey - praise seems scant reward for his efforts. The man deserves a medal. "
HARRY RICHIE, Mail on Sunday
"So otherworld, so strange and so fabulous are the characters who people 'The Spirit-Wrestler' that the reader might be forgiven for imagining he had dipped by mistake into some ancient book of fairy tales. "
TERESA WAUGH, Literary Review
"Having turned the last page of Philip Marsden's book. I sincerely regretted that it was my first encounter with this excellent travel writer. 'The Spirit-Wrestlers' charmed me with its genuine spirituality - Marsden himself deserves to be called a spirit-wrestler. "
VITALI VITALIEV, Daily Telegraph
"A mesmerising account"
