The bibliography volume of the three-volume East Looks West: East European Travel Writing in Europe collates travel writing published in book form by east Europeans travelling in Europe from ca. 1550 to 2000. It is intended as a fundamental research tool, collecting together travel writings within each national/linguistic tradition, and enabling comparative analysis of such material. It fills an important gap in the existing reference literature, both in western and east European languages, and will be of use to those working in the growing fields of comparative travel writing, regional and national identities, and postcolonialism.These texts exist in surprisingly large numbers, and include writings of high literary quality as well as of historical interest, but they have been relatively little studied as a genre. Much of this material is rare and difficult to find, even in national libraries. As a result, there are few bibliographical surveys of the literature of east European travel and self-representation, and none that are region-wide or comparative in scope. This is the third volume of a three-part set of East Looks West, Vol. 1 - An Anthology of East European Travel Writing on Europe; and Vol. 2 - A Comparative Introduction to East European Travel Writing on Europe.
A diaristic exploration of procrastination, pregnancy, and art The day before Cyrus Console and his pregnant wife leave for a monthlong visit to Romania, they receive troubling news—the fetus she’s carrying is at elevated risk for Down syndrome. As the trip unfolds, his worry spirals into broader meditations on parenthood, language, addiction, love, marriage, and the passage and management of time. In and among the cities of Roman, Iasi, and Bucharest, Console chronicles his loving but comically awkward interactions with friends and family, taking place as they do in a language and culture unfamiliar to him. The resulting travel diary moves beyond daily life to delve into the enigmas of art, suffering, creativity, and family. Mixing memory with acute observations on everything from chess and stray dogs to heartbreak and dreamscape, Romanian Notebook turns the anxiety and rumination of the expectant parent into a deeper way of thinking about the human condition.

For Carlo Reltas, Carkania means the countries on the edge of the Carpathians and in the Balkans. On his round trips, he visits fascinating cities such as pre-war Kiev and Odessa, Istanbul, Tirana, Sarajevo and Ljubljana. He also makes a detour to the supposedly "queasy Minsk". Carlo Reltas invites his readers to accompany him on his journeys and walks through the main cities and other important towns in south-eastern Europe. He shares his impressions, his experiences and interweaves them with historical and political-social background, sometimes with commentary. At the end, he even proclaims a new capital for Europe. The author was a journalist and manager of the international news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) for decades. Since leaving the news business, he has been living on the edge of the Odenwald and travelling.
Earthly Delights brings together a number of substantial and original scholarly studies by international scholars currently working on the history of food in the Ottoman Empire and East-Central Europe. It offers new empirical research, as well as surveys of the state of scholarship in this discipline, with special emphasis on influences, continuities and discontinuities in the culinary cultures of the Ottoman Porte, the Balkans and East-Central Europe between the 17th and 19th centuries. Some contributions address economic aspects of food provision, the development and trans-national circulation of individual dishes, and the role of merchants, diplomats and travellers in the transmission of culinary trends. Others examine the role of food in the construction of national and regional identities in contact zones where local traditions merged or clashed with imperial (Ottoman, Habsburg) and West-European influences.

Author Majorie Neset, a lifelong traveler, reader, and writer, invites you along on a lifetime of journeys, long and short, to “far away places with strange-sounding names”—or just down Highway 71 to picnic in the shade of Paul Bunyan and Babe. Window Seat: The Story of a Traveling Life presents an explorer’s tale or perhaps a memoir of journeying. Neset was born near the beginning of World War II and spent the next eighty-five years traversing the world, from northern Minnesota’s Koochiching County to Mongolia, Madagascar, Singapore, Syria, and most points between. While the lands are grand, the adventures reflect a more human scale, often originating in books Neset read and always planned by her alone. Who could have imagined that, as her travels drew to a close, the planet would be experiencing similar turmoil to the events leading up to the world war into which she was born? With that in mind, she encourages everyone to get out there and experience this magnificent planet while they still can.
