Description
Between Germany and Russia is a region strewn with monuments to the horrors of war, genocide, and disaster – the bloodlands where the murderous regimes of Hitler and Stalin unleashed the violence that scarred the twentieth century and shaped so much of the world we know today.
In September 2016, the German-Iranian writer Navid Kermani set out to discover this land and to travel along the trenches that are now re-emerging in Europe. His journey took him from his home in Cologne through eastern Germany to the Baltics, and from there south to the Caucasus and to Isfahan in Iran, the home of his parents.
Along the Trenches is a beautifully written travel diary, enlivened by conversations with the people Kermani meets along the way. It brings to life the tragic history of these troubled lands and shows how this history leaves its traces in the present. It will be of great interest to anyone concerned with current affairs and with the events that have shaped, and continue to shape, the world in which we live today.
