Danube
Part history, part philosophy, part travelogue,
this is literature in the richest, most amply
rewarding sense. Writing with tremendous
exuberance, Claudio Magris has produced a paean
to what Hölderlin called "the river of
melody"--the Danube, Europe's main artery, and
the heart of that elusive but fascinating zone
known as Mitteleuropa.

The Rhine
Categorizing this handsome volume presents a
challenge. While definitely an excellent pretrip
resource for those planning a visit to Germany
along the Rhine River, it is also a complete and
scholarly treatment of the art, architecture,
history, landscape, and geography of the Rhine,
from its origins in Switzerland to the Rhine
delta in Holland.
