Sobre este artículo
The Folio Society. 1999 1st Printing. Size 6.25 x 9.5 inches. In blue cloth covers with silver and gilt to spine and front. With green hard card slip case. Maps to endpapers. In very good condition with very good slip case. A very clean and tight copy. 292pp. With b/w plates. At the age of 18, Leigh Fermor decided to walk the length of Europe, from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. He set off on 8 December 1933, shortly after Hitler had come to power in Germany, with a few clothes, several letters of introduction, the Oxford Book of English Verse and a volume of Horace's Odes. He slept in barns and shepherds' huts, but also was invited by landed gentry and aristocracy into the country houses of Central Europe. He experienced hospitality in many a monastery along the way.
