The Gypsy in me: Crossing Eastern Europe in Search of Youth,Truth And Dad [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa dura

Setting out from his mother's birthplace in Hamburg, Ted Simon walked 1,500 miles through Germany, Poland, Russia, the Ukraine and into the heart of Romania, soon becoming 'a walking illustration of neuralgic disorders'. He describes his encounters with Polish punks, morose border guards, a mad bull and the commanding officer of a Russian tank regiment. He finds a record of his father's birth, and of his grandfather's childhood, leading to new truths about himself. Interweaving anecdote with reflections on nationalism, history and the end of communism, Ted Simon has produced a book that illuminates half a continent along with a single family.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
