{"product_id":"between-the-woods-and-the-water","title":"Between the Woods and the Water - On Foot to Constantinople: From The Middle Danube to the Iron Gates","description":"\u003cb\u003eContinuing the epic foot journey across Europe  begun in \u003ci\u003eA Time of Gifts\u003c\/i\u003e, Patrick Leigh Fermor writes about walking from Hungary to the Balkans. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe  journey that Patrick Leigh Fermor set  out on in 1933—to cross Europe  on foot with an emergency allowance of one pound  a day—proved so rich  in experiences that when much later he sat down to describe  them, they  overflowed into more than one volume. Undertaken as the storms of war   gathered, and providing a background for the events that were beginning  to unfold  in Central Europe, Leigh Fermor’s still-unfinished account of  his journey has  established itself as a modern classic. \u003ci\u003eBetween the Woods and the Water\u003c\/i\u003e,  the second volume of a projected three, has garnered as many prizes as its celebrated  predecessor, \u003ci\u003eA Time of Gifts\u003c\/i\u003e.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The opening of the book finds Leigh  Fermor crossing the  Danube—at the very moment where his first volume left off.  A detour to  the luminous splendors of Prague is followed by a trip downriver to  Budapest,  passage on horseback across the Great Hungarian Plain, and a  crossing of the Romanian  border into Transylvania. Remote castles,  mountain villages, monasteries and towering  ranges that are the haunt  of bears, wolves, eagles, gypsies, and a variety of sects  are all  savored in the approach to the Iron Gates, the division between the  Carpathian  mountains and the Balkans, where, for now, the story ends.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50943569199392,"sku":"9781590171660","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781590171660.jpg?v=1763522130","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/between-the-woods-and-the-water","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
