“Angharad Price’s central message is that little pieces of Wales are to be found throughout Europe. […] This volume is a reminder of the essential need to nurture these connections and to create new ones for the future.”
Llion Wigley, O’r Pedwar Gwynt
A collection of eight literary journeys, following various trails between Wales and Europe, guided by one of Wales’ finest literary and critical voices.
In Gororion (Horizons) we travel in the company of exciting novelist from Venice to Ynys Gwales, and from rural France to Paradise Island. We adventure on the Orient Express alongside the poet T. H. Parry-Williams, and meditate on Wales and the Welsh language in a vineyard on the outskirts of Rome. We discover an unusual link between Montgomeryshire and Frankfurt am Main. And who was the passionate Dutchman who fell in love with one of Eryri’s small communities at the beginning of the twentieth century?
Wide-ranging in its approach, this deeply researched volume remains thoroughly accessible and lifts the veil on the rich, longstanding literary relationship between Wales and Europe.
