"There is a resigned king in every man." Charles has retired to a remote monastery in Spain. He is ill and waiting for his end. But then he meets eleven-year-old Geronimo, and together they decide to ride off, at night, on horse and mule. They get into wild adventures and find companions on the way to Laredo. Despite his power, fame and wealth, Karl gets to know what he never had before: friendship, love, light-heartedness and the freedom it means to live only in the moment.
"Journey to Laredo" is a fantastic, magical novel about letting go, about what matters in life - and, above all, a captivating story.
