Softcover. Condition: new. Product DescriptionContinuing the epic foot journey across Europe begun in A Time of Gifts, Patrick Leigh Fermor writes about walking from Hungary to the Balkans.The journey that Patrick Leigh Fermor set out on in 1933-to cross Europe on foot with an emergency allowance of one pound a day-proved so rich in experiences that when much later he sat down to describe them, they overflowed into more than one volume. Undertaken as the storms of war gathered, and providing a background for the events that were beginning to unfold in Central Europe, Leigh Fermors still-unfinished account of his journey has established itself as a modern classic. Between the Woods and the Water, the second volume of a projected three, has garnered as many prizes as its celebrated predecessor, A Time of Gifts.The opening of the book finds Leigh Fermor crossing the Danube-at the very moment where his first volume left off. A detour to the luminous splendors of Prague is followed by a trip downriver to Budapest, passage on horseback across the Great Hungarian Plain, and a crossing of the Romanian border into Transylvania. Remote castles, mountain villages, monasteries and towering ranges that are the haunt of bears, wolves, eagles, gypsies, and a variety of sects are all savored in the approach to the Iron Gates, the division between the Carpathian mountains and the Balkans, where, for now, the story ends.Review"Those for whom Paddys prose is still an undiscovered country are to be envied for what lies ahead-hours with one of the most buoyant and curious personalities one can find in English." - The New York Sun"Mr. Fermoris a peerless companion, unbound by timetable or convention, relentless in his high spirits and curiosity." - Richard B. Woodward, The New York Times"We are aware at every step that his adventure can never be duplicated: only this extraordinary person at this pivotal time could have experienced and recorded many of these sights. Distant lightening from events in Germany weirdly illuminates the trail of this free spirit." - The New York Times"The young Fermor appears to have been as delightful a traveling companion as the much older Fermor a raconteur." - The Houston Chronicle"[A Time of Gifts, Between the Woods and the Water] are absolutely delightful volumes, both for those who want to better understand what was lost in the violence of Europes 20th-century divisions and for those who appreciate the beauty and thrill of travel writing at its best." - The Houston Chronicle"Leigh Fermor is recognizably that figure many writers of the past century have yearned to be, the man of action." - The Guardian"He was, and remains, an Englishman, with so much living to his credit that the lives conducted by the rest of us seem barely sentient-pinched and paltry things, laughably provincial in their scope, and no more fruitful than sleepwalks. We fret about our kids S.A.T. scores, whereas this man, when he was barely more than a kid himself, shouldered a rucksack and walked from Rotterdam to Istanbul." - Anthony Lane, The New YorkerEven more magical.through Hungary, its lost province of Transylvania, and into Romania.sampling the tail end of a languid, urbane and anglophile way of life that would soon be swept away forever. -Jeremy Lewis, Literary ReviewIn these two volumes of extraordinary lyrical beauty and discursive, staggering erudition, Leigh Fermor recounted his first great excursion. Theyre partially about an older authors encounter with his young self, but theyre mostly an evocation of a lost Mitteleuropa of wild horses and dark forests, of ancient synagogues and vivacious Jewish coffeehouses, of Hussars and Uhlans, and of high-spirited and deeply eccentric patricians with vast libraries (such as the Transylvanian count who was a famous entomologist specializing in Far Eastern moths and who spoke perfect English, though with a heavy Scottish accent, thanks to his Highland nanny). These books amply dis.

Book First Edition
First edition, 1986. Signed by the author to the title page. Hardback. 248pp. Double page map between pages 22 and 23. Blue cloth boards with gilt design to upper board. Gilt titles to spine. This is the sequel to the remarkable 'A Time of Gifts'. With a borrowed rucksack and the lifeline of a pound a week, Patrick Leigh Fermor set off in 1933 from the Hook of Holland to walk to Constantinople - a walk of a year and a half. 'Between the Woods and the Water' continues the journey down the Danube from Budapest: on horseback across the Great Hungarian Plain, and over the Rumanian border into Transylvania, a wild and beautiful region of forests and mountains secluded from tWestern eyes during centuries of religious and national complexity. He planned to live 'like a tramp, a pilgrim, or a wandering scholar', sleeping in work-houses, monasteries and barns. But a chance introduction in Bavaria led to a counterpointing of this rough curriculum with leisurely sojourns in castles: one night he would be kept awake by cattle, the next by heavily embroidered coronets on the linen of a rococo four-poster bed: then back again to the husks of some friendly swineherd. Yet the journey, with all its adventures, was more than a picaresque trail across Europe. It was a double exploration across a continent which was already showing ominous signs of the holocaust to come, and it provides a coherent understanding of the dramatic events in Middle Europe. The author's travels take him to remote castles, mountain villages, monasteries and towering ranges that are the haunt of bears, wolves and eagles, of Gypsies and a diversity of sects. The woods of the title are Transylvania itself, and the water is the Danube and its tributaries. This part of the journey ends at the Iron Gates, where the Balkans begin. Loosely inserted original errata slip Book in near fine condition. Some small areas of faint toning/spotting to end papers and fly leaves. Light crease to spine. Dust jacket very good and unclipped. Very minor edge wear. Slight soiling and very faint spotting. Book.
