«Verso Santiago. Itinerari spagnoli» is a travel book by Cees Nooteboom, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (320 pages, in Italian).
Cees Nooteboom travels through Spain following chance and his cultural background, in the footsteps of Don Quixote and of Velázquez and Zurbarán. He avoids tourist routes and chooses remote places and unusual aspects of geography and history. Each stage forms a self-contained chapter; Spain and the author's style are the common thread.
This Italian edition (1994) belongs to the Narrativa di Viaggio collection from Feltrinelli Traveller. The work was originally published in Dutch as De omweg naar Santiago (1992).
For readers of travel literature interested in Spain, its history and its art from a cultured perspective far from tourist routes.
Cornelis Johannes Jacobus Maria "Cees" Nooteboom was a Dutch novelist, poet and journalist. After the attention received by his novel Rituals, which won the Pegasus Prize, it was the first of his novels to be translated into an English-language edition, published in 1983 by Louisiana State University Press of the United States. LSU Press published his two earlier novels in English in the following years, as well as other works up until 1990. Harcourt and Grove Press have since published some of his works in English.
