About This Item
London: Granta Books, 1997 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st.UK Ed... Mixing affection with detachment,rapture with clarity,this American poet perfectly evokes a country delicately balanced between East and West.Patricia Storace, with immense tact and skill, reveals how the dreams of modern Greece are the woven product of classical culture, of Byzantine and Orthodox Christianity, Ottoman occupation and of modern nationalism. The dizzying paradoxes that result when an outsider tries to fathom this very old country - which is at the same time a relatively young and spiky Balkan nation - give this book its taut and careful lyrical quality. The author leads her readers by a form of writing which allows critical affection and unpredictable understanding. 398p.Tiny remainder mark, else as new.
