Some see the Baltic Sea as a developing zone for future tourism, others even believe it is the true setting of Homer's epic myths. In recent decades, during a period of breathless change, the Baltic has been seen by those who share its shoreline as a unifying factor, in cultural, geographical and historical terms. A Baltic Odyssey traces a circuit of the Baltic, from thriving Helsinki, through the Karelian borderland to magnificent St. Petersburg, crossing the three Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, describing the traumas of Kaliningrad and the delights of Gdansk, and examining the Hansa history of northern Germany and the Viking heritage of Denmark and Sweden. The author, journalist Tim Bird from southern England, has lived in Finland for nearly 30 years, and this absorbing travelogue takes the reader on a personal journey during the colourful and far-reaching changes that took place in the Baltic region in the 1990s.
