Review
"[Mani and Roumeli are] two of the 20th Centuries most celebrated travel books" -- Independent on Sunday 20030622 From the Mani he has brought back riches. How can one do justice to the fascination and poetry of this book, its generosity and its learning -- its love? -- The Spectator 20030622 Mani and Roumeli: two of the best travel books of the century -- Financial Times 20030622 Quite outside the range of normal accounts of travel ... He supercharges his narrative with a combination of tenderness and high spirits appropriate to his past achievements as a guerrilla leader in Crete. -- Daily Telegraph 20030622 "a man recognised as one of the greatest travel writers of his generation!considered by many to be the finest travel books ever written" -- Manchester Evening News 20030622 "with a heady mix of scholarship, history and imagination and a magical turn of phrase from Paddy Fermor" -- Manchester Evening News 20030603 " A natural hero" -- Manchester Evening News 20030603 " Not to be missed, Yammas!" -- Manchester Evening News 20030603 Mani is an extraordinary book of adventure and encounter, fantasy and learning, observation and experience ... it is a wonderfully rich book, richer for the warmth of the Philhellenism which Leigh Fermor betrays throughout. -- Sunday Times 20030603 "He supercharges his narrative with a combination of tenderness and high spirits appropriate to his past achievements as a guerrilla leader in Crete." -- Daily Telegraph 20030603

MANI : Travels in the Southern Peloponnese
Seller: Amazing Book Company, Liphook, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: New. John Craxton (illustrator). First Thus. This new, seemingly unread copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued. The contents are bright, tight, white and square. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. 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. Ref A5 7.
