Description

Border: A Journey to the Edge of Europe The borderzone between Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece was once a notorious crossing point, swarming with soldiers, spies, and fugitives. Today, it's a region scarred by its past, where the physical and psychological borders that crisscross its villages and mountains are still palpable. Kapka Kassabova sets out to meet the people of this triple border, from border guards to refugees, and discovers a region shaped by history's successive forces. She explores the landscape in the company of treasure hunters, entrepreneurs, and others, tracing the borders that exist between countries, cultures, and people. This sharply observed portrait of a little-known corner of Europe is a fascinating meditation on the borderlines that define us. Through her journey, Kassabova uncovers the stories that unlock the secrets of this enigmatic region, revealing a complex and multifaceted world that is both familiar and unknown.
