Description

Hong Kong: Orchid Press, 2004. An eclectic collection of essays compiled by the author during his travels to Transylvania in northern Romania between 1998 and 2004. What was at first a mere inkling of a name on a map in a faraway Ruritanian land unfolds into an exotic medley of fascinating people and picturesque places. Along the way he knocks the Dracula myth on the head! The complex truths behind the convoluted history of Transylvania are revealed as the reader journeys to the medieval towns and villages of this former Principality, once famous throughout the courts of Europe. These are journeys not to be missed. xiv, 263 pp., 63 b&w plates, 4 maps. First Edition. Softbound. New. 21 x 14 cm..
