Tillfälligt slut

Taking shape in a trans-religious mythical reality, Swayambhu follows the journey of two travellers through various manifestations of mystical death, in their quest for spiritual life. The novel is written in the traditions of linguistic kabbalah and Hindu mythology. Divided into two sections, Swayambhu can first be read purely as an intruiging myth. The second section of the novel, Conversations with death, is an extensive footnote apparatus which can be studied to reveal the deeper meanings and kabbalistic techniques conveyed by the myth.

'I love the way To Kailash and Beyond is written. I love the pace of it, the quiet kind of meditative style that permeates it, the author really has a 'voice' that is natural and flows so easily. I found To Kailash and Beyond packed with meaty bits for me to go over and over. On each page almost, I wanted to stop and read and re-read, for the ideas contained in the text, as well as for the writing itself. On an emotional, spiritual and 'journey' level, I could completely immerse myself in the text, and because of the weight of the content, I picked it up to start all over again! I love it, and it's a book that has stayed beside my bed, and I can pick it up and turn to any page and there will be something there for me, that I can read and absorb just for that moment. An amazing, awesome achievement. Thank you, Eric Verwey, for sharing it with the world!' -- Kirsten Miller, published author in South Africa
