In 1933, after being expelled from school, author Patrick Leigh Fermor shouldered his rucksack and set forth on an extraordinary trek that was to take him up the Rhine, down the Danube, and on to Constantinople.
His talent for friendship, keen powers of observation, and insatiable curiosity lend this travelog a conversational and engaging tone. Through his writing, discover the history and culture of Central Europe, taking in river valleys and mountain heights, country manors as well as cottages, and stops along the way in Hamburg, Munich, Vienna, and Prague.
