Krátky popis
An evocative voyage through the Carpathian mountain range and its
threatened landscape, peoples, and history &,nbsp, The
Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine are
Europe’s last true wilderness. A landscape of great spruce and
beech forests, grass meadows, and ancient villages, its people
contend daily with the elements—as well as Europe’s last large
carnivores. But this fragile ecosystem is now under threat, from
climate change and illegal logging.&,nbsp, Journeying from the
banks of the Danube to Transylvania, Nick Thorpe guides us through
the history and ecology of the watershed of Europe, between the
Black Sea and the Baltic. For a thousand years the Carpathians have
been a place of refuge, of identity and belonging, where powerful
rulers and dynasties fought to gain control over rich gold seams
and the unruly inhabitants of strategic valleys. Today, its
inhabitants struggle to protect its vast forest habitat from urban
sprawl as well as logging.&,nbsp, Drawing on interviews with
shepherds, foresters and loggers, and his four decades of
experience in the region, Thorpe sheds light on a neglected part of
Europe—where bears, wolves, chamois, and lynxes still roam.
