First talk of the New Year
January 14, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Our AGM has now been postponed until our meeting on 11th February, but we will still have a meeting and talk on this day.
We welcome Nick Jubber who will present – ‘Epic Continent’.
A local travel writer’s journey and a view on the ancient tales across Europe. Nicholas Jubber has journeyed across the Sahara, the Middle East and Central Asia for his latest book. He takes us on a journey from Turkey to Iceland, exploring Europe through some of its most iconic tales. From graffiti artists to refugees, war veterans to folk singers, he meets the people who are still telling ancient stories of loyalty and betrayal, honour and love and discovers how much these tales can teach us about our troubled continent today.
“Astonishing… one of the best travel books you’ll read this year” – The New European.
“travel gold…a genuine epic” – Wanderlust magazine
“a European tapestry that combines the sombre with the sparkling” – The Spectator
