Book Description
If you know and love Romania, then you will be enchanted by this book.
If you know and love Romania, then you will be enchanted by this book.
If you have barely heard of the delightful little country which once marked the eastern boundary of the Roman Empire, then you are in for a delicious surprise.
Like Patrick Leigh-Fermor who walked from The Hook of Holland to Istanbul and wrote so memorably and movingly of his travels, Julian Ross takes you by the hand and leads you through his adopted country, lovingly describing the history, culture, and geography of this mountainous land.
"Time moves slowly in rural Transylvania," he explains, "and hurrying is an alien concept."
The author moves easily from his role as amateur historian, "Transylvania is a millpond between rapids, a sheltered spot cradled in the sweeping crescent of the Carpathian Mountains," to that of equestrian explorer, "The traveller is bound simply by common sense and courtesy."
Julian’s two equestrian journeys are intimately portrayed, yet he never falls into the trap of allowing the narrative to wallow in unnecessary detail.
By the time you have read this book you may not have become an expert horseman, but you will feel as if you yourself have visited each little village, every ancient town and explored the rural countryside alongside this talented story-teller.
