Jason Goodwin
On Foot to the Golden Horn, recounts Jason Goodwinâ€™s breathtaking journey with two companions through Eastern Europe from the dikes and marshes of Polandâ€™s Baltic coast across to the Golden Horn in Istanbul. Along the way, they sleep in haystacks, drink with Gypsies, and play with Ceaucescuâ€™s orphans, meeting with blatant hostility and overwhelming hospitality as an older Europe tries to settle with itself, and a new one struggles to be born. It is the story of three friendsâ€™ walk through some of the worldâ€™s most beautiful and tragic places, and of their encounters with a varied and vivid cast of characters.
