Krátky popis
The author takes us on an unexpected journey up the Danube, where
we encounter a remarkable and unfamiliar world The magnificent
Danube both cuts across and connects central Europe, flowing
through and alongside ten countries: Romania, Ukraine, Moldova,
Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany.
Travelling its full length from east to west, against the river’s
flow, Nick Thorpe embarks on an inspiring year-long journey that
leads to a new perspective on Europe today. Thorpe’s account is
personal, conversational, funny, immediate, and uniquely
observant—everything a reader expects in the best travel
writing.&,nbsp,Immersing himself in the Danube’s waters during
daily morning swims, Thorpe likewise becomes immersed in the
histories of the lands linked by the river.He observes the river’s
ecological conditions, some discouraging and others hopeful, and
encounters archaeological remains that whisper of human communities
sustained by the river over eight millennia. Most fascinating of
all are the ordinary and extraordinary people along the way—the
ferrymen and fishermen, workers in the fields, shopkeepers,
beekeepers, waitresses, smugglers and border policemen, legal and
illegal immigrants, and many more. For readers who anticipate their
own journeys on the Danube, as well as those who only dream of
seeing the great river, this book will be a unique and treasured
guide.
