O knihe

Through the beautiful Aegean Sea, the great jungle-clad ranges of Papua New Guinea, the pristine beauty of Tasmania and the incredible inland waterways of Europe, our path crosses those of many of history's greats. Julius Caesar extracting vengeance on pirates on a remote Greek island, Odysseus looting Troy, Winston Churchill organising some epic Mediterranean disasters, the rapacious Barbarossa's from Lesbos, the despicable crusaders sacking Constantinople the greatest city on earth, the remarkable scientists of the first Age of Enlightenment and the Christians who destroyed it, powerful Emperors and Empresses, Sultans and Sultanahs, the sailors and entrepreneurs who for a time made the Netherlands the richest and powerful nation on earth and the place where democracy really started to flourish. And many more, some famous, others not so much - the man who invented red wine, the most beautiful girl in the world, tribal warriors in the Sepik, Otto-Wilin Peterswalde. All carefully examined from the back of a boat with a glass of local red at hand.
