"In the winter of 1933 eighteen-year-old Patrick ("Paddy") Leigh Fermor set out to walk across Europe, starting in Holland and ending in Constantinople, a trip that took him the better part of a year. Decades later, when he was well over fifty, Leigh Fermor told the story of that life-changing journey in A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water, two works now celebrated as among the most vivid, absorbing, delightful, and beautifully-written travel books of all time. The Broken Road is the long and avidly awaited account of the final leg of his youthful adventure that Leigh Fermor promised but was unable to finish before his death in 2011. Assembled from Leigh Fermor's manuscripts by his prize-winning biographer Artemis Cooper and the travel writer Colin Thubron, this is perhaps the most personal of all Leigh Fermor's books, catching up with young Paddy in the fall of 1934 and following him through Bulgaria and Romania to the coast of the Black Sea. Days and nights on the road, spectacular landscapes and uncanny cities, friendships lost and found, leading the high life in Bucharest or camping out with fishermen and shepherds: in the The Broken Road such incidents and escapades are described with all the linguistic bravura, odd and astonishing learning, and overflowing exuberance that Leigh Fermor is famous for, but also with a melancholy awareness of the passage of time, especially when he meditates on the scarred history of the Balkans or on his troubled relations with his father. The book ends, perfectly, with Paddy's diary from the winter of 1934, when he had reached Greece, the country he would fall in love with and fight for. Across the space of three quarters of century we can still hear the ringing voice of an irrepressible young man embarking on a life of adventure"--… (más)

OK, I'm a travel-writing junkie, and also have a mild Europe-between-the-wars addiction. So this saga, finding me in the first months of pandemic lockdown, was a perfect fit and virtual get out of jail free card. Three things about the remarkable author: His audacity, to set off walking across Europe at the age of 18 (although he was endowed an upper-class Brit's self-confidence vis-a-vis the world). His polymathic mind, both insatiably curious and already well-educated. And the amazing detail he was able to recall and describe, writing about this journey several decades later. Or maybe he made the detail up, which wouldn't bother me in the least. A great trip for him, and for me as a reader. ( )

Third of this series - je pense - not the best of the 3 ( )

Virtually flawless; on this evidence, Fermor spent too much time redrafting his already wondrous work. ( )

The final, not quite finished volume of Fermor's trilogy about walking from the North Sea to Constantinople is full of his precise, vivid descriptions of birds, people and places and of his adventures on the roads of Balkan nations, primarily Bulgaria. Sadly, he never finished his account of the journey, which ends near the border between Bulgaria and Turkey. A sample of his fragmentary diary entries from Constantinople ends the journey, but his more complete journal of his first visit to Mount Athos rounds out the book--this section is fascinating; Fermor focuses much more on the personalities of the people he encounters than on the icons or liturgies, but what details he recounts are acute, entertaining and fascinating.

I have said that Patrick Leigh Fermor’s first two books about his great adventure lacked the satisfying structure of Bildung narratives. The irony of the publication of his final, posthumous work is that it creates, retrospectively and almost accidentally, something of that meaningful arc for the entire trilogy. By the end, the lacquered manner has dissolved, and a different, far more touching and sympathetic hero emerges.
 
Given how the shortcomings of this book so tormented Paddy's last decades, few of us thought it likely that it would contain any material to equal its great predecessors. The wonderful surprise is that, while the book is certainly uneven, and contains some jottings and lists that are little more than raw, unworked data, overall it is every bit as masterly as Between the Woods and the Water, while some passages – such as his marvellous account of a love affair in the old Bulgarian city of Plovdiv – are the match for some of the great passages of A Time of Gifts.
