Robert MacCurrach (1972, Biology - Agriculture and Forestry)
One man’s view, part memoir part travelogue, of the province of Vojvodina in northern Serbia. It is told with affection as someone who lived amongst the many peoples cast onto those wide fertile plains from both Hapsburg Empire and Ottoman Europe. This is a story told from the bottom up. A big canvas is stretched out, from Plato’s shepherds to the most recent wave of refugees, but always the compass turns to the villages, the land and its wilderness.
‘It is time for English-speaking audiences to “find” Vojvodina, and Robert MacCurrach uses his personal experience of life beside the Danube to meet this need. His wonderful book brings the haunting flatlands of Serbia to life in all their diversity.’ – Vesna Goldsworthy, author of Chernobyl Strawberries
‘The author brings out the richness of this northern part of Serbia, which has been historically at a cross-roads between central Europe and the Balkans and has seen the interaction of many languages and cultures. This is an enjoyable and many-layered work that will encourage new visitors to Vojvodina.’ - David Gowan, former UK ambassador to Serbia
