Horę Ionicę: A Poem, Descriptive of the Ionian Islands, and Part of the Adjacent Coast of Greece (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a lyrical account of the author's travels through the Ionian Islands. Through rich descriptions of the islands' natural beauty and historical sites, the author explores the classical themes of freedom, conquest, and exile. The author positions the islands in the context of ancient Greek civilization and their role as a battleground in many wars for control of the Mediterranean from classical times through the 19th century. The author uses the historical backdrop to explore the tension between the joy of the present moment and the weight of the past, particularly in regard to the loss of the Venetian Republic. Ultimately, the book offers a timeless meditation on the nature of memory, loss, and the significance of place.
