*SHORTLISTED FOR THE STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD*
The Rhine is one of the world's greatest rivers. Once forming the
outer frontier of the Roman Empire, it flows 800 miles from the
social democratic playground of the Netherlands, through the
industrial and political powerhouses of Germany and France, to the
wealthy mountain fortresses of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. For
five years, Ben Coates lived alongside a major channel of the river
in Rotterdam, crossing it daily, swimming and sailing in its
tributaries. In The Rhine, he sets out by bicycle from the
Netherlands where it enters the North Sea, following it through
Germany, France and Liechtenstein, to its source in the icy Alps.
He explores the impact that the Rhine has had on European culture
and history and finds out how influences have flowed along and
across the river, shaping the people who live alongside it.
Blending travelogue and offbeat history, The Rhine tells the
fascinating story of how a great river helped shape a continent.
