The latest addition to my website isJaroslav Rudiš‘Winterbergs letzte Reise (Winterberg’s Last Journey). Winterberg is a 99 year old man originally from what was Sudetenland. At the end of the war, German speakers were expelled and he went to Berlin. He now, with the help of his carer, Jan Kraus, plans to travel round Central Europe , (re-)discovering its history and culture, trying to find out who he is and looking for what happened to his lost love, Lenka. They use only a 1913 Baedeker. Kraus, initially unenthusiastic, gets drawn in and he has his own lost love. They visit the the beautiful landscape of battlefields, cemeteries and ruins, discovering their lost history and also much about themselves. With two curmudgeonly old men and a wonderful introduction to Central Europe and its past, this is a thoroughly enjoyable read.
