Jenkkejä maailmalla II Heidän toivioretkensä Pyhälle Maalle

A weather‑worn crew drifts through moonlit seas, their battered ship a floating stage for a motley troupe of pilgrims, a brash physician‑oracle, and a sardonic narrator. The journey sweeps past the volcanic silhouette of Stromboli, the glittering cliffs of Messina, and the mythic straits of Skylla and Charybdis, where ancient legends mingle with the clamor of sailors swapping jokes and superstitions. Along the way the characters grapple with restless curiosity, a lingering fear of the unknown, and a peculiar obsession with a mysterious “horizontal parallax” that promises to reshape their view of the world.

Back on deck, the crew‑family reenacts familiar rituals—song, storytelling, and a hearty dinner beneath a silvered sky—while the oracle, half‑serious and half‑absurd, probes every corner of biblical and classical lore. Their banter reveals a tapestry of cultural references, from Roman papal portraits to the hum of Greek harbors, all tinged with Twain’s unmistakable satire. Listeners are invited to join the lively, slightly chaotic voyage, where each sunrise brings a fresh chance for mischief, reflection, and the ever‑present temptation to chart a new horizon.
