Walking Europe's Last Wilderness

A Journey through the Carpathian Mountains

Nick Thorpe
Englisch | Taschenbuch

An evocative voyage through the Carpathian mountain range and its threatened landscape, peoples, and history<BR>  <BR> The Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine are Europe’s last true wilderness. A landscape of great spruce and beech forests, grass meadows, and ancient villages, its people contend daily with the elements—as well as Europe’s last large carnivores. But this fragile ecosystem is now under threat, from climate change and illegal logging.<BR>  <BR> Journeying from the banks of the Danube to Transylvania, Nick Thorpe guides us through the history and ecology of the watershed of Europe, between the Black Sea and the Baltic. For a thousand years the Carpathians have been a place of refuge, of identity and belonging, where powerful rulers and dynasties fought to gain control over rich gold seams and the unruly inhabitants of strategic valleys. Today, its inhabitants struggle to protect its vast forest habitat from urban sprawl as well as logging.<BR>  <BR> Drawing on interviews with shepherds, foresters and loggers, and his four decades of experience in the region, Thorpe sheds light on a neglected part of Europe—where bears, wolves, chamois, and lynxes still roam.

Die Donau
Die Donau
Nick Thorpe
Vom Schwarzen Meer bis zum Schwarzwald: Anders als berühmte Donau-Reisende vor ihm nimmt der britische Journalist und Filmemacher Thorpe den umgekehrten Weg und nähert sich von der Mündung aufwärts zu Fuß, mit dem Fahrrad, Boot, Zug, manchmal auch mit dem Auto der Quelle des fast dreitausend Kilometer langen Stromes in Deutschland. Auf dem Balkan, stellt Thorpe gleich anfangs fest, entwickelten sich zivilisierte Kulturen lange vor dem Westen. Und so verwebt er auf seiner Reise prägnant das Einstige mit der Gegenwart und schafft es, unterschiedlichsten Menschen - von Schiffern bis zu Mönchen, von Wissenschaftlern bis zu Roma-Mädchen - wunderbare Geschichten zu entlocken und Europa und seine Kulturgeschichte neu zu entdecken.

The Danube
The Danube
Nick Thorpe
The author takes us on an unexpected journey up the Danube, where we encounter a remarkable and unfamiliar world 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.
