Synopsis
IONIA is a travel book unlike any other that the author has written, for when she went to Asia Minor it was on an exploration into history with Herodotus as her companion.
Ionia and Aeolis, Heracleia and Aphrodisias -- these are names that for many have only the sound of familiarity. Through the author's discoveries we experience them too, and in doing so find a world which, in spite of harshness, conflict and insecurity, contains much beauty and happiness.
IONIA records the first stage of Freya Stark's journey in Turkey through the Seljuk and Ottoman ages.

Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Pbk. Condition: Near Fine. Facsimile Reprint. Wonderful descriptions of the ancient classical sites of the western coast of Asia Minor (before it was developed as a tourist destination) "In the autumn of 1952 I travelled about the western coasts of Asia Minor, and counted, at the end, fifty five ruined sites that I had visited: in only one of them - and that was Pergamum - had I met another tourist, sightseeing like myself. . . . A great longing came to me to know more, and to bring a living image out of these dots and dashes of the past." Re-issue of the text originally published by John Murray 1956.263p.plates.bibliography.index. Text crisp and tight - looks unread - stamp of Canadian distributor on title page, else fine.
