British journalist Nick Thorpe set off on a journey from the Black Sea to the Black Forest to walk from mouth to source and see with his own eyes the legendary Danube, on the banks of which ancient civilizations arose and modern states were formed. Moving upstream, the author visited cities, monasteries, nature reserves and iconic places of the "Danube powers": the Iron Gate gorge, blocked by the dam of the same name; the native village of the sculptor K. Brancusi; the plain near Mohacs in Hungary, where battles for the "heart of Europe" took place. From travel notes, conversations with people whose lives are inextricably linked with the Danube, vivid episodes from chronicles, lives of saints and biographies of prominent natives of the Danube region, legends and songs, a picturesque canvas is formed, reflecting the beauty and changeable nature of the great river, which became the cradle of nations and the main waterway of Central Europe.
