«Clear Waters Rising: A Mountain Walk Across Europe» is Nicholas Crane's travel book, published by Penguin in paperback (384 pages, in English).
Nicholas Crane walks in seventeen months the mountain chain from Cape Finisterre to Istanbul, with his umbrella as company. He crosses the Pyrenees, Cévennes, Alps, Carpathians and Balkans amid storms, drought and century-old maps. Shepherds, cheesemakers, gunmen and a grumpy bear populate this tale of endurance and portrait of Europe's periphery.
The narrated route covers around 10,000 kilometres. The book won the 1997 Thomas Cook/Daily Telegraph Travel Book Award.
For readers of travel literature and mountaineering, with an interest in long-distance walks through rural Europe and its landscapes.
Nicholas Crane is an English geographer, explorer, writer and broadcaster. Since 2004, he has written and presented four television series for BBC Two: Coast, Great British Journeys, Map Man and Town.
