Through the Iron Curtain. Thinking aloud on the electric route from Gdansk to Istanbul. Jón Björnsson tells of his travels.
Here Jón Björnsson tells of his cycling trip south to Miklagarð. In ancient times, this was the route of merchants carrying the precious silver from the Baltic countries to the Mediterranean. Much later, an invisible iron curtain was erected along the same route. The author presents unforgettable images of the journey in his own agile and humorous way and weaves into the narrative all kinds of interesting facts from the history of the nations and countries he travels through, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey. The book is adorned with many color illustrations. (Bókatíðindi 2006).
