Bestselling/ popular Books: Cairo: The City Victorious Triple Borders: A Journey to the Edge of Europe Bulgarian-born, Scottish Highlands-resident Kapka Kassabova, acclaimed author of Border, which has won several awards, including the British Academy Nayef Al-Rodhan and the Highland Book Prizes, returns to the murky, triple border-zone of her Communist childhood: Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece. It was heavily militarised and out of reach during the Cold War. Because it runs through one of Europe’s last great wildernesses, it was rumoured to be an easier crossing point to the West than the Berlin Wall and was stomping ground of three national armies. Border is a sharply-etched portrait of a little-known corner of Europe and a fascinating exploration of the lines that exist between countries, cultures and people. Kassabova’s journey takes her deep into the lives of border people: villagers and entrepreneurs, ambiguous border guards and lone shepherds and refugees fleeing conflict in the Middle East. Kassabova will be in conversation with Max Rodenbeck, South Asia Bureau Chief of The Economist, who studied history in Egypt, roamed the Middle-East as a reporter and authored a biography of Cairo.
