  • Roam Alone Everybody Wants to Be a Travel Writer, but Few Go to the Lengths That English Author Colin Thubron Does
    Kashgar, China JOURNALS PROFILE WORDS CLAIRE SCOBIE Roam alone Everybody wants to be a travel writer, but few go to the lengths that English author Colin Thubron does. OLIN THUBRON ALWAYS travels alone. “Nobody is stupid enough to go with me,” says the 68-year-old. From his first book, Mirror To Damascus, written in 1965, to his latest account C of an eight-month, 11,500km odyssey across China, central Asia, war-shattered Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey, following “the ghost of the Silk Road”, Thubron has travelled with one aim: to get to the heart of where he is and understand the essence of those he meets. “Every- thing has to be sacrificed for the fascination with the country.” He has been attacked in the Middle East by Palestinian refugees and followed by the KGB during the Brezhnev era. More recently he was quarantined for SARS in northwest China and nearly killed by a drunk driver in Kyrgyzstan. Nonetheless, says Thubron, he has “very rarely feared” for his life. “There’s a great romance about travel, but in a way you’re like a journalist looking for copy. You take risks and undergo hardships you’d never do if you were travelling for interest, let alone enjoyment.” One of the finest travel writers of his generation, respected both for his elegant, inimitable prose and great tenacity to endure, Thubron – who visited Australia to attend the Perth Writers Festival last month – is in the league of travel scribes such as Paul Theroux and Jonathan Raban. However, he also shares with the late writer-explorer Dame Freya Stark a refined sensibility and love of history.

Between 1933 and 1935 he travelled, largely on foot, from Rotterdam to Istanbul, then onwards to Mount Athos in Greece. Much later in life, he wrote two of his most celebrated books, „A Time of Gifts‟ (1977) and „Between the Woods and the Water‟ (1986), about part of this journey. A third posthumous volume, „The Broken Road‟ (2013), edited by Colin Thubron and Artemis Cooper, was based on „The Green Diary‟ (his only surviving diary from the journey) and a draft from the 1960s entitled „A Youthful Journey‟. He met the Romanian princess Balasha Cantacuzène in Athens in 1935, and the two lived together at Lemonodassos, Greece, and then at the Cantacuzène estate in Băleni, Romania, until the outbreak of war in 1939. Working as a Special Operations Executive officer behind enemy lines in Crete during World War II, he led the party that kidnapped the German General Heinrich Kreipe. The story of the abduction was later adapted into a film, „Ill Met by Moonlight‟ (1957), based on the 1950 book of the same name by Leigh Fermor‟s second in command, William Stanley Moss.

  • Matthew Staite Leigh Fermor Thesis
    “A dangerous mix of recklessness and sophistication”: Themes of identity and nostalgic ideas of Europe in the travel writings of Patrick Leigh Fermor By Matthew Staite A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS In European Studies: Identity & Integration Universiteit van Amsterdam Graduate School of Humanities Supervisor: Alex Drace-Francis Secondary Reader: Joep Leerssen July 2018 1 Abstract: This thesis provides an academic study of Patrick Leigh Fermor’s travel accounts of his journey across Europe in the 1930s. Through a close analysis of these texts, it will attempt to see what these travel accounts can contribute towards ongoing debates about diversity and identity in Europe. It allows for both literary and historical approaches of study, and will refer to several travel writing theories and historiographical debates about the idea of Europe. Despite Patrick Leigh Fermor being a popular British post-war author, his works have received little scholarly attention; this thesis seeks to alert scholars to the rich potential for research that these texts provide. It will argue that both the author’s techniques of self-presentation and his conception of the history of Europe create nostalgic images of a ‘lost Europe’. While his conception of Europe doesn’t necessarily ‘Orientalise’ eastern Europe, his images of a lost Europe are heightened there. Words: 22,987 2 Preface I would like to thank my parents for supporting my decision to do this Master degree. Without their backing and support it would not have been possible. Thanks also to Alex Drace-Francis for being so helpful in supervising this thesis, and to Grzegorz Moroz for sharing his research with me.

Banchieri favoured the expressive value of dialects over literary refined language, introducing Bolognese, Bergamasco and Venetian elements in his dialogues. One of the pieces in this collection testifies to Cervantes’ early literary influence: openly entitled ‘Novella di Don Chisciotto’, it contains, through the voice of the garrulous char acter Nicolosa, a version of Cervantes’ story of the Moorish king Mambrino and his magic gold helmet, elements of which are ably interwoven with the characters’ adventures.

For instance, we are going to have a celebration of Magnum, which is turning 60; three events with PEN: one tribute for Ryszard Kapuscinski; and the season will end with Gunter Grass on June the twenty-seventh. And now, I would like to introduce Jan Morris to you. But I have a much better idea than myself introducing Jan Morris. Why don't I ask someone who knows Jan Morris infinitely better and for so much longer than I do: Simon Winchester. (applause) SIMON WINCHESTER: Well, this is an enormous privilege for me. I have known Jan for a very long time, and I'll be as brief as I can, but I want to tell you how we first encountered one another. I was a geologist working in Uganda in 1966, and I was working in the Ruwenzori Mountains, on the Congo border. And I was there largely because I was interested in mountains, and I was living in a tent in a village called 1 Kyenjojo, in the middle of nowhere. And every month I would go to the British Consul library, in a place called Fort Portal, to get any books that I could about mountains and mountain climbing.
