Book excerpt: The magnificent Danube both cuts across and connects central Europe, flowing through and alongside ten countries: Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany. Travelling its full length from east to west, against the river’s flow, Nick Thorpe embarks on an inspiring year-long journey that leads to a new perspective on Europe today. Thorpe’s account is personal, conversational, funny, immediate, and uniquely observant—everything a reader expects in the best travel writing. Immersing himself in the Danube’s waters during daily morning swims, Thorpe likewise becomes immersed in the histories of the lands linked by the river. He observes the river’s ecological conditions, some discouraging and others hopeful, and encounters archaeological remains that whisper of human communities sustained by the river over eight millennia. Most fascinating of all are the ordinary and extraordinary people along the way—the ferrymen and fishermen, workers in the fields, shopkeepers, beekeepers, waitresses, smugglers and border policemen, legal and illegal immigrants, and many more. For readers who anticipate their own journeys on the Danube, as well as those who only dream of seeing the great river, this book will be a unique and treasured guide.

Book excerpt: By late 1938, Adolf Hitler has already begun Germany’s territorial expansion with the surrender of the Sudetenland territory by Czechoslovakia and is preparing for more aggressive actions in 1939. A traditional German General is appalled by Hitler and wants to get word to the British Government of Hitler’s plans to invade and seize the rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 – but how? By chance, a holiday cruise ship full of international passengers, including twenty-five Indiana University alumni and spouses of the Class of 1924, are sailing down the Danube River in December 1938. Also on the ship is a British spy trying to get the General’s secret letter to London and German Gestapo officers trying to stop that from happening, but which of the sixty passengers is the British spy? By the time the ship reaches the end of the cruise in Budapest, four people are dead, one alum has found love, one couple is getting divorced and a number of passengers are missing their jewelry. For many, it truly will be their last voyage.

Book excerpt: 'Neither a travel book, nor a vast prose poem, nor a history, nor philosophy, nor voyage of discovery, but often all at once' Independent on Sunday WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD FLANAGAN In this fascinating journey Claudio Magris, whose knowledge is encyclopaedic and whose curiosity limitless, guides his reader from the source of the Danube in the Bavarian hills through Austro-Hungary and the Balkans to the Black Sea. Along the way he raises the ghosts that inhabit the houses and monuments - from Ovid to Kafka and Canetti - and in so doing sets his finger on the pulse of Central Europe, the vital crucible of a culture that draws on influences of East and West, of Christendom and Islam.
