The Danube

Viac o knihe

A magnificent photographic voyage along Europe's longest river, from its source in Germany's Black Forest to its eventual outflow into the Black Sea, passing through or along the borders of Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldavia, and Ukraine.For centuries, the Danube was the waterway that connected the various lands of the Habsburg Monarchy. Even after the demise of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the Danube still gives a unity to the idea of Central Europe as described by Claudio Magris in his majesterial work under the same title.
