It asks why the idea of retreat still enchants people to this day and hints at how each one of us can find a sanctuary of our own. `Stagg writes well and brightly about all he encounters'�Observer`A readable book that looks at how three people tried to live at the extreme edge of the human spirit'�Literary Review`Remarkable . . . Stagg, too, is on a journey, which is what makes his books so attractive and accessible'�The Tablet`In an age riddled with noise and distraction,�The World Within�feels timely. It reminds us that silence and solitude are vital for self-discovery' Press Association\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guy Stagg","offers":[{"title":"336 pages \/ 29\/01\/2026 \/ General \u0026 world history","offer_id":56967406485879,"sku":"9781398533523","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781398533523.jpg?v=1780932900","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781398533523","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
