ON THE EDGE OF EUROPE, IN THE CENTRE OF THE WORLD
Book presentation
„This book tells the human story of Europe's last border. It is located where Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey meet and separate again, because borders are what they are. It is also the place where something like Europe begins and something that is not quite Asia ends.
This broadly outlines the geographical features, but the map only takes you so far before you find yourself in an ancient forest, brimming with shadows and life beyond all time.“
