Description
The Last Monks of Skellig Michael - Philip Kosloski - Voyage Comics (Paperback)
The ancient monastery atop Skellig Michael has enchanted the world with its beautiful vistas and mysterious history. While much has been written about the architectural feats achieved by the monks on the lonely island, little has been discussed about the daily life of the religious hermits. What was it like 1,000 years ago? Why did the monks choose Skellig Michael? What was their spirituality like? Why did they leave and never return? What is their legacy today? In this short book, the life of these ancient monks is described and illustrated in an accessible way, not reserved to historical enthusiasts, but also those simply curious to know a little more about these mysterious hermits. What’s even more surprising is how closely these monks resemble the Jedi who have brought the island to life again in the latest Star Wars films!
Featuring original artwork and historical drawings to visualize the enchanting world of these monks!
