In this new journey Michael Palin fills a void in his travels by visiting 22 Eastern European countries, places which had had limited access until the fall of the Berlin Wall at the end of the 1980’s. Many of the countries have changed due to various warring armies destroying the landscapes but there are still rich and complex cultures to experience. From the mountains of Slovenia , through the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad and many, many more, Palin opens up a new and undiscovered Europe to us with his inimitable charm and wit.
'For most of my lifetime, half of my own continent had been chilled by a Cold War and concealed behind an Iron Curtain. Now there was the prospect of being able to travel through once-forbidden lands; of making a voyage of discovery on my very own doorstep . . .'In New Europe, Michael Palin embarks on a very different kind of adventure: a journey around the Europe he has never known. Along the way he meets Romanian lumberjacks, celebrates the summer solstice in Latvia and takes in some traditional olive oil wrestling in Turkey. This is an unmissable odyssey through twenty different countries from one of our most beloved travel writers.
