Reviews

“[Thorpe’s] book—in all its diffuse charm—should draw captivated readers, and visitors, down these beloved winding tracks.”—Boyd Tonkin, Financial Times “A richly textured report on an ancient terrain that is being remade into a new political and economic landscape.”—Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal “By the time I reached its final pages, I was eager to experience the Carpathians for myself.”—Guy Stagg, Literary Review “Thorpe goes deeper than scenery, weaving together history, culture, ecology, economy and more. . . . Through Thorpe’s compassionate guiding, the voices of the people who call this region home will linger long in my mind.”—Elizabeth Wainwright, Geographical “Nick Thorpe is adventurous, funny, compassionate and wise, your ideal companion for exploring the Carpathians, Europe’s last wilderness.”—Michael Ignatieff, author of On Consolation: Finding Solace in Dark Times “The Carpathians are far and away the best kept secret in Europe—and travelling with Thorpe is to be ushered into a magical world.”—Julius Strauss, former war correspondent and owner of Wild Bear Lodge
