«Il viaggio di Teo» is the travel novel by Catherine Clément, published by Longanesi & C. in hardback (623 pages, in Italian).
Teo, a clever and curious fourteen-year-old boy, suffers from a spiritual ailment of unknown origin. His aunt Marthe takes him on a journey through the world's great religions —from Rome to Varanasi, from Egypt to Tibet— to find the roots of his pain and a cure. The novel presents itself as what Sophie's World is to philosophy, but applied to faith.
Published in 1998, it belongs to the La Gaja scienza collection by Longanesi; translated by Lidia Perria.
For young and adult readers interested in religions, spirituality, and travel as personal quest.
