Greece cover

Gathers stories from modern Greek writers such as Eva Vlami, George Seferis, and Odysseus Elytis. Discover Greece -- a country that has inspired centuries of travel -- through its best modern writers. Against a superb landscape of mountains, beaches, villages, cities, and ruins, all bathed in the rich light of the Mediterranean, these twenty-four stories draw from the long oral and written evolution of the Greek literary tradition. Incorporating myths, the meditative tranquillity of the region, and a past full of struggle and civil war, these stories are arranged by geographical region for the traveller and provide an enriching odyssey through the Greek landscape and mind.

"A first rate collection... Showcasing the work of such well-known modern writers as (Nobel Prize Winners) Odysseus Elytis, and George Seferis, Nikos Kazantzakis, and Vassilus Vassilikos..." -- Kirkus Reviews.
