Product Information
Jason Goodwin's account of his journey on foot through Eastern Europe - from the dykes and marshes of Poland's Baltic coast, across to the Golden Horn and Istanbul - is the story of a walk with two friends through some of the most beautiful, and tragic, places in the world. He tells of encounters with a varied and vivid cast of characters, from bibulous Polish farmers to seedy Romanian spivs, and from embittered Hungarians in Transylvania to inhabitants of Ceaucescu's infamous orphanages. Goodwin is the author of The Gunpowder Gardens , which was shortlisted for the Thomas Cook Award.Product Identifiers
