Farewell to Salonica (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the turn of the twentieth century Salonica (now Thessaloniki in Greece) was an oasis in a swirl of conflicting powers and interests, a vibrant world of varied peoples at the crossroads of East and West. Under Ottoman rule, the citys diverse communities Jews, Muslims Turks, Orthodox Greeks and Bulgarians met, traded and lived alongside one another peacefully. But this tolerant society was not to last, eventually succumbing to the nationalist sentiment rampant among the peoples of the Empire. Farewell to Salonica is a fascinating and nostalgic portrait of a lost society, in which Sciaky laments the encroachment of Western machine civilisation on the older, more human ways of the Orient. Leon Sciaky describes his childhood before the First World War in a prosperous, loving Jewish family in the cosmopolitan city of Salonica. Under the Ottoman Empire, the city's diverse communities - Jews, Muslim Turks, Orthodox Greeks and Bulgarians - met, traded and lived alongside each other day-to-day in an atmosphere of tolerance. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781909961234
