In 1943, Eric Newby escaped from the Italian prison camp in which he had been held for a year. Evading the advancing German army, he was sheltered by an informal network of Italian peasants. Love and War in the Apennines is Newby's tribute to these selfless and courageous people and their bleak and unchanging way of life. Of the cast of idiosyncratic characters, most notable was the beautiful local girl on a bike who would teach him the language, and eventually help him escape. Two years later they were married and would spend the rest of their lives as co-adventurers. Part travelogue, part escape story and part romance, this is a mesmerising account of wisdom, courage, humour, adventure and above all, love from the man who would become one of Britain's best-loved literary adventurers.

‘Slowly Down the Ganges’ is seen as a vintage Newby masterpiece, alongside ‘A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush’ and ‘Love and War in the Apennines’. Told with Newby's self-deprecating humour and wry attention to detail, this is a classic of the genre and a window into an enchanting piece of history.
