Cover of Alan Ogden: Romania Revisited (ePUB)

Romania Revisited is the definitive story of the journeys made by English travelers to Romania between 1602 and 1941. The author, Alan Ogden, interweaves the impressions of previous generations into the witty account of his own journeys made in the summer and winter of 1998. Starting with the Transylvanian adventures of Captain John Smith in 1602, the bibliography is the most detailed inventory yet published of English travel writing on Romania.The author’s own journey is a comprehensive and perspicacious review of today’s Romania. Ogden focuses on the heritage and art of the country, while providing a delightful account of his own experiences en route. The book is illustrated with the author’s own photographs, based on the work of Kurt Hielscher in 1933, and with helpful maps drawn by the author. Romania Revisited makes a valuable contribution to the study of the external perception of Romania over the centuries and is the perfect travel companion for today’s visitor.
