Lives on the Baltic Frontier

Beschreibung

Following his acclaimed exploration of the vanished East Prussia, Forgotten Land, Max Egremont turns his attention to the Baltic, another part of the world where the ghosts of history still make their presence felt.

Autor

Max Egremont studied history at Oxford University. As well as four novels, he has written biographies of Arthur Balfour, Major-General Sir Edward Spears and Siegfried Sassoon, and Some Desperate Glory: the First World War the Poets Knew. His Forgotten Land: Journeys among the Ghosts of East Prussia (2011) has been described as `a work of consummate artistry¿ (the Spectator), `a story for our time¿ (the New Statesman), `remarkable, fascinating reading¿ (the Sunday Times), `beautifully written¿ (the Wall Street Journal), and `the very best form of travel writing¿ (the Mail on Sunday).
