"This book is a continuation of "A time of gifts", a narrative about walking from London to Istanbul in 1934. In this book he crosses Hungary and Romania. He spends most of his time sponging off upper class friends whom seem to enjoy his company. His descriptions of their lives, in that lost time, are fascinating, and his historical and linguistic notes are also interesting. These areas are so rich in history of kings, invasions, wars, ethnic conflict, art, and architecture it is hard for Americans to grasp. The upper crust seems to recall when their forebearers had lunch with the sultan of wtf back in 1547! A most unusual, but rewarding read."
"This is a slow-moving book about a young man who walks from the Hook of Holland all the way to Turkey, eventually. There are two books in this series. This is a true story, and took place in the 1930's. The author became quite famous later on, and was a spy for the British army in WWII.
This is a great book. Even though it's slow, you will never find another book that describes the places and atmosphere of each place that he stayed in during his travels. That world is gone. I highly recommend it."
