Description
Between the Woods and the Water: On Foot to Constantinople
This 2004 edition of Patrick Leigh Fermor's travelogue follows his journey as an 18-year-old across 1930s Europe by foot, picking up where he left off in A Time of Gifts. The trip takes him across the Hungarian Plain on horseback, over the Romanian border to Transylvania, and into a continent already showing signs of the devastating events that would unfold.
With its unique blend of lyrical writing and historical insight, this account provides a fascinating glimpse into Middle Europe during a pivotal moment in history. The journey is as much about the people and places Fermor encounters as it is about his own experiences, making for a captivating read 20 years after its initial publication.
