About this product
Product Information
This is Patrick Leigh Fermor's spellbinding part-travelogue, part inspired evocation of a part of Greece's past. Joining him in the Mani, one of Europe's wildest and most isolated regions, cut off from the rest of Greece by the towering Taygettus mountain range and hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian seas, we discover a rocky central prong of the Peleponnese at the southernmost point in Europe. Bad communications only heightening the remoteness, this Greece - south of ancient Sparta - is one that maintains perhaps a stronger relationship with the ancient past than with the present. Myth becomes history, and vice versa... Leigh Fermor's hallmark descriptive writing and capture of unexpected detail have made this book, first published in 1958, a classic - together with its Northern Greece counterpart, Roumeli.Product Identifiers

Erudite but engrossing account of travels in the Mani
Erudite but very human travel writing, capturing the history of a unique land and its culture. PLF had a broad and deep knowledge of the history of the lands, languages, and peoples of Europe, but had a particular affinity for Greece. He wrote this at a time (fifty years ago) when few foreign travellers ventured into this peninsular and this is a valuable account of the place, set against relevant aspects of its history.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
