About

The Iron Curtain is long gone, Germany is unified and the borders of the European Union continue to expand, yet the line between east and west in Europe still remains visible. Jens Olof Lasthein’s book is a visual journey from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south – powerful tales of a boundary in transition.
