A Journey to Nowhere: Detours and Riddles in the Lands and History of Courland
Price: £18.99
Add to basketAn erudite and engaging book - in the tradition of W.B. Sebald - about one of the world's most desolate reaches. Courland is an entity that no longer exists. Occupied by Nazi Germany and returned to Soviet Russia after the war, it remained largely inaccessible until 1991. Kauffmann roams this nowhere land of wide skies and forests, deserted beaches and ruined castles, looking for a lost lover and an excavator of tombs, and following in the footsteps of exiled Louis XVIII.
