'A book so good you'll resent finishing it' Sunday Times 'The
finest travelling companion we could ever have' Evening Standard
'Rightly considered to be among the most beautiful travel books in
the language' Independent INTRODUCED BY JAN MORRIS The acclaimed
travel writer's youthful journey -- as an 18-year-old -- across
1930s Europe by foot began in A Time of Gifts, which covered the
author's exacting journey from the Lowlands as far as Hungary.
Picking up from the very spot on a bridge across the Danube where
his readers last saw him, we travel on with him across the great
Hungarian Plain on horseback, and over the Romanian border to
Transylvania. The trip was an exploration of a continent which was
already showing signs of the holocaust which was to come. Although
frequently praised for his lyrical writing, Fermor's account also
provides a coherent understanding of the dramatic events then
unfolding in Middle Europe. But the delight remains in travelling
with him in his picaresque journey past remote castles, mountain
villages, monasteries and towering ranges.
