Princes Amongst Men
Wide-ranging, irreverent and humorous, this book is packed with fascinating and sometimes tragic details on lands and people who are rarely heard from.
Princes Amongst Men is the only book to provide an overview of Gypsy music across the Balkans, documenting remarkable artistry in former Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria. It is also the only travelogue available through terrain many consider to be Europe's 'Badlands', covering ghettos and villages, railways and motorways, weddings and funerals, festivals and dive bars.
No other writer has emulated the spirit of Jack Kerouac on the Balkan roads, in search of adventure, artistry and romance. This updated and expanded new edition transforms Cartwright's original 2005 text, including fresh interviews, further travel writing and the latest updates on music-making and society across the Balkans.
