MOONS AND AUROCHS
Romanian Journeys
by Alan Ogden
Moons and Aurochs takes the reader on an eccentric and out-of-the-way tour of Romania. Starting his journey in the wetlands of the Danube Delta, the author wanders through the mountains of Transylvania into the hidden Carpathian valleys of Moldavia and ends up on the plains of the Banat, along the way meeting Lipovans, Székelys, Saxons and Houtsouls. The effect is to view Romania through a constantly rotating kaleidoscope where colourful historical figures mutate into equally colourful contemporary characters. Ogden is a veteran Romanian traveller and has the knack of unearthing stories which would normally be missed by tourists.
”Ogden is an energetic - and eccentric guide- scampering around churches in search of crumbling frescoes” [The Guardian]
