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.

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: From its source in south-west Germany, coursing through central Europe and the Balkans, the Danube is a river of romance, passing medieval castles, baroque churches and rococo palaces. Europe's second-longest river, it flows through proud cities -- Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava -- forming the frontier between Romania and Bulgaria before branching into a delta and pouring into the Black Sea. This Way the Danube sails along the navigable stretch of the river, embarking at Passau, stopping off at the major cities and making side trips into nearby areas.

In 462, the Huns struck terror into France and Germany; and after becoming masters of the latter, and of all Dacia, they were united under Charlemagne; but in 920, shook off the French yoke. In 1010, they embraced Christiani; and Louis, their last king, was killed in battle, at ohatz, in 1526. In 1684, a bloody war commenced between the Hungarians and Mahomet IV.; but the coalition effected between them and Sobieski, king of Poland, the Venetians, and Peter the Great, led to the utter defeat of the Turks, in 1686. Mustapha, the son of Mahomet, concluded the peace of Carlowitz, in 1699, by which Austria became posessed of all Hungary, which had been in the hand of the Turks ever since the time of Ferdinand 1. Possession of the country was disputed, however, until 1739, when, bv the The noble: amount to at least 300,000, and are very patriotic. Hungary may be considered as forming a little Europe in itself, so rich and fertile that, notwithstanding the administrative defects in its government, it derives from its own internal resources almost everything that can be produced in European countries. Wines, of which there are at least a hundred different sorts, vary in rice from one penny to five shillings the bottle (Tokay.
