Carpathia

The mountains, currently divided among eight Central-Europe countries, in the past were both a natural wall and a bridge between people, communities, and cultures. Tumultuous history, numerous turmoil, and frequent changes of borders have shaped this fascinating Carpathian mosaic, for the first time described in entirety – the history of mountains and the very rich history of people these mountains shaped.

It is the 23rd volume of The Central European Library series under the editorship of Jacek Purchla.
