Product Description
The author observes: "All of Greece is absorbing and rewarding. There is hardly a rock or stream without a battle or myth or miracle or a peasant anecdote or a superstition; and talk and incident, nearly all of it odd or memorable, thicken round the traveller's path at every step." In 'Mani', one of the "two best travel books of the century", Patrick Leigh Fermor fully bears this out. His glorious fusion of scholarship, history and imagination is a joy to read.
