Description
The Elbe is a major European river, but everyone sees only their own piece of it. For instance, from Bohemia, one can usually see as far as Meissen, and from the sea in Germany, the spring in the Krkonoš mountains seems even further away than the Alps. Therefore, the Elbe must connect and tell its story. This book connects the Elbe into wholes from the perspectives of history, ecology, and culture, as well as economy and transportation. It offers stories that not only smell of romance but are also an imprint of our complicated history. This unique river travelogue can be read both upstream and downstream. — The graphically original book contains more than three hundred reproductions, photographs, illustrations, and period facsimiles.
