Jason Goodwin's breathtaking journey on foot through Eastern Europe - from the dykes and marshes of Poland's Baltic coast across to the Golden Horn in Istanbul - tells the story of his walk with two friends through some of the most beautiful - and tragic - places in the world, and of their encounters with a varied and vivid cast of characters.
Winner of the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, On Foot to the Golden Horn was described in the TLS as 'one of the truest portraits of present-day Central Europe available.'
'Goodwin's writing has a brilliance, is observant, visual, accurate...if there is a better travel book published for some time to come it will be surprising.' P J Kavanagh in the Evening Standard
