FERMOR PATRICK LEIGH - GEBRAUCHT MANI TRAVELS I...

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.
