The so-called Grand Tour was once undertaken by young aristocrats in order to expand their knowledge through travels. Today, those who want to travel through Europe can also do so by reading: The anthology »Grand Tour« contains stories and short stories by 27 writers – one from each EU member state – that expose readers to European culture and history. Editor Olivier Guez and Latvian author Jānis Joņevs introduce the volume.
