Three Rivers : Robert Winder

BOOK FESTIVAL 26 Robert Winder was Literary Editor of the Independent (where he ran the Foreign Fiction Award for translated novels) and Deputy Editor of Granta. He is the author of many titles (both fiction and non-fiction) including Bloody Foreigners: The Story of Immigration to Britain and The Last Wolf: The Hidden Springs of Englishness. Three rivers: the Rhine, the Rhone and the Po. Each one coursing down from a single patch of Alpine ice in the jagged heights of Switzerland. Robert Winder traces the rivers’ journeys, revealing in shimmering detail their impact on Europe’s rich history as they flow towards the sea.
