About this book<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The author takes us on an unexpected journey up the Danube, where we encounter a remarkable and unfamiliar world<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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\u2019s flow, Nick Thorpe embarks on an inspiring year-long journey that leads to a new perspective on Europe today. Thorpe\u2019s account is personal, conversational, funny, immediate, and uniquely observant\u2014everything a reader expects in the best travel writing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Immersing himself in the Danube\u2019s waters during daily morning swims, Thorpe likewise becomes immersed in the histories of the lands linked by the river. He observes the river\u2019s 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\u2014the 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.<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cA review can\u2019t encompass the majestic canvas of Thorpe\u2019s book. Wise, thoughtful, unprejudiced and consistently absorbing, it is also beautifully written.\u201d\u2014Miranda Seymour, Literary Review<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this leisurely amalgam of travelogue and history, Nick Thorpe . . . has done the Danube and its ancient people proud.\u201d\u2014Ian Thomson, Sunday Telegraph<\/p>\n

\u201cThorpe is a keen conversationalist who lets the multiple voices of riparian communities emerge on their own. The writing is graceful and the descriptions of landscape and, especially, birds are at times magnificent.\u201d\u2014Charles King, Times Literary Supplement<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vom Schwarzen Meer bis zum Schwarzwald: Anders als ber\u00fchmte Donau-Reisende vor ihm nimmt der britische Journalist und Filmemacher Thorpe den umgekehrten Weg und n\u00e4hert sich von der M\u00fcndung aufw\u00e4rts zu Fu\u00df, mit dem Fahrrad, Boot, Zug, manchmal auch mit dem Auto der Quelle des fast dreitausend Kilometer langen Stromes in Deutschland. Auf dem Balkan, stellt Thorpe gleich anfangs fest, entwickelten sich zivilisierte Kulturen lange vor dem Westen. Und so verwebt er auf seiner Reise pr\u00e4gnant das Einstige mit der Gegenwart und schafft es, unterschiedlichsten Menschen \u2013 von Schiffern bis zu M\u00f6nchen, von Wissenschaftlern bis zu Roma-M\u00e4dchen \u2013 wunderbare Geschichten zu entlocken und Europa und seine Kulturgeschichte neu zu entdecken.<\/p>\n
