A journey to nowhere : detours and riddles in the lands and history of Courland
Kauffmann, Jean-Paul2012
Books
Courland is an entity that no longer exists. Now part of modern Latvia, it is a nowhere land of empty towns and ex-KGB prisons. For many years Jean-Paul Kauffmann has been irresistibly drawn to this place, and his digressive travels follow in the footsteps of the French monarch, Louis XVIII, for whom Courland was once a place of exile.
