No. 1 bestseller and superstar doing what he does best, introducing
millions of avid readers to little-known peoples and places. Until
the early 1990s, when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down,
travelling behind the iron curtain was never easy. In undertaking
his new journey through Eastern Europe, breathing in its rich
history, and exquisite sights and talking to its diverse peoples,
Michael fills what has been a void in his own experience and that
of very many others. NEW EUROPE is very much a voyage of discovery,
from the snows of the Julian Alps to the beauty of the Baltic sea,
he finds himself in countries he'd barely heard of, many unfamiliar
and mysterious, all with tragic histories and much brighter
futures. During his 20-country adventure Palin meets Romanian
lumberjacks, drives the 8.58 stopping train from Poznan to
Wolsztyn, treads the catwalk at a Budapest fashion show, learns
about mine-clearing in Bosnia and watches Turkish gents wrestling
in olive oil. As with all his bestselling books, in his uniquely
entertaining style, Palin opens up a new and undiscovered world to
millions of readers.
