Sobre este artículo
London: Penguin, 1984 Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. Reprint. "South of Macedonia, somewhat overlapping ancient Thrace, lies the wild, isolated region known long ago as Roumeli. Here, among people as fiercely independent as those of the Mani peninsula, the remarkable Patrick Fermor lived the life of the people, joining the wedding guests, journeying to the cloud-high monasteries, learning the tricks of the professional beggars. Recalling this remote and ardent world, Mr. Fermor explores the very heart of the Greek temperament.with the unfailing gaiety, sympathy, and curiosity which make him one of the best travel writers of our time." 248p.map.Index. Paper slightly age toned, remainder mark, else fine.
Sinopsis
Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-2011) was an intrepid traveler, a heroic soldier, and a writer with a unique prose style. After his stormy schooldays, followed by the walk across Europe to Constantinople that begins in A Time of Gifts (1977) and continues through Between the Woods and the Water (1986), he lived and traveled in the Balkans and the Greek Archipelago. His books Mani (1958) and Roumeli (1966) attest to his deep interest in languages and remote places. In the Second World War he joined the Irish Guards, became a liaison officer in Albania, and fought in Greece and Crete. He was awarded the DSO and OBE. He lived partly in Greece—in the house he designed with his wife, Joan, in an olive grove in the Mani—and partly in Worcestershire. He was knighted in 2004 for his services to literature and to British–Greek relations. Patricia Storace is the author of Heredity , a book of poems, Dinner with Persephone , a travel memoir about Greece, and Sugar Cane , a children’s book. She lives in New York.
