Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a travelogue based on the author's journey by boat tracing the lower Danube's 1440-mile course from Regensburg, Germany to the Black Sea, continuing through the Bosporus Straits to end at the port of Trabzon on the southeastern coast of the Black Sea. Insights are offered into the history, geography, and peoples of the regions traversed, with a primary focus on the political and social transitions of the Balkans following the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of Russian and Austro-Hungarian influence. From the bustling beer halls of Bavaria through the grand architectural landmarks of Budapest and Belgrade, to the minarets and bustling street markets of Istanbul, the author draws parallels between the conflicts and aspirations of the past and present. While acknowledging deep-seated mistrust between Russia and Europe, the author maintains that the revolutions of 1848 and the liberal reforms instituted by the Habsburg monarchy have sown seeds of hope for a more peaceful and cooperative future for the peoples of the region.
