A TIME OF GIFTS: ON FOOT TO CONSTANTINOPLE: FROM THE HOOK OF HOLLAND TO THE MIDDLE DANUBE

Book ID/图书代码: 12100010B37767

English Summary/英文概要: In 1933, at the age of 18, Patrick Leigh Fermor set out on an extraordinary journey by foot - from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. A Time of Gifts is the first volume in a trilogy recounting the trip, and takes the reader with him as far as Hungary.

It is a book of compelling glimpses - not only of the events which were curdling Europe at that time, but also of its resplendent domes and monasteries, its great rivers, the sun on the Bavarian snow, the storks and frogs, the hospitable burgomasters who welcomed him, and that world’s grandeurs and courtesies. His powers of recollection have astonishing sweep and verve, and the scope is majestic.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 933年,18岁的Patrick Leigh Fermor开始了他不平凡的徒步旅行——从荷兰角湾到君士坦丁堡。《时间的礼物》这是一本述说着旅行的三部曲的第一册,它的读者远至匈牙利。

本书给人一种激动人心的一瞥——不仅那个时代发生在欧洲令人毛骨悚然的事件,还有其宏伟的圆顶屋和寺院,伟大的河流,巴伐利亚雪上的日光,鹳和青蛙,热情好客的镇长的欢迎,和那个世界的宏伟和礼遇。他回忆力惊人,广博而富有神韵,视野雄伟开阔。(LNL)
