Sanctuary is an ancient right. But what does it mean today? Drawing on a lifetime of engagement with literature, myth, history and tradition from different cultures, this book is an ambitious attempt to grapple with the sharpest questions that we are facing in today's world of global turmoil. It ranges broadly across myth and history and explores the concept of hospitality, the cult of relics, shrines and festivals, the imagination of place, and travelling tales, asking profound questions about political ideas of a right to safety, home, freedom of movement, and peace.
