First edition. Grey cloth boards under pictorial jacket. Small chip to head of spine panel of DJ, rubbing to rear panel. Fine/very good. $20 Koeves writes in his introduction that his travels had acquired a nostalgic feeling, because after Hitlers invasion of Poland and the ensuing war, innumerable details of the everyday life [of Europe] will never be the same as presented in this book. He was probably more correct than he imagined. This book is about travel; but traveling without destination, without itineraries, and by mixing with the everyday people of the land. He tells tales of hobos and Romani, and speaks of travel as poetry. This is really a series of linked creative essays rather than a book-length narrative, and it provides a literary take on a life on the road.
