Traveller's Greece : Memories of an Enchanted Land by Tomkinson, John L - 2003

Athens: Anagnosis Books, 2003 (NEW : Book will be sent direct from the publisher in Greece) "An anthology of striking extracts from the writings of more than 100 travellers, who have recorded their impressions of Grecee over a period of three centuries, and who have recounted their experiences of the land and its people. More than one hundred travellers record their impressions of Greece over a period of more than three centuries, and recount their experiences in an enchanted land. The extracts show the travellers, the places they visited, and those they encountered, at their best and worst. From many rare works now difficult of access, the compiler has extracted a great variety of writing, and a wide range of approaches to Greece, from the unashamedly romantic to the brutally cynical. Not merely a valuable repository of historical evidence, 'Travellers' Greece' is an anthology which the non-specialist can read with pleasure from cover to cover." 608p. illus. s.. 2nd. Greek Ed... Soft Cover. New Book from Greece.
