Description:
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.
