The uninhibited pagan spirit of Greece, revealed by the author of Tropic of Capricorn. When Henry Miller visited Greece with his friend Lawrence Durrell, his experiences amounted to a complete rebirth. In this intensely personal account he pays homage to the idea of Greece, the poetry of its light & landscape & the humanity of its people. 'Unlike anything else ever written about Greece' - Edmund Wilson.

About the Author:
Henry Miller (1891―1980) was one of the most controversial American novelists during his lifetime. His book, The Tropic of Cancer, was banned in the some U.S. states before being overruled by the Supreme Court. New Directions publishes several of his books.

Will Self (b. 1961) is an English novelist and journalist.

Ian S. MacNiven (b. 1938) edited The Durrell-Miller Letters: 1935-1980.
Review:
One of the five greatest travel books of all time. (Pico Iyer) Miller captures the spirit and warmth of the resilient Greek people in his story of a wartime journey from Athens to Crete. (National Geographic) Miller s Colossus of Maroussi, a paean to Greece drawn out of a nine-month visit is the gestation time for a human and, in Miller s case, for the imaginative re-creation of a country, a culture and his own fierce energies. (Richard Eder, The New York Times) "
