Synopsis

89 pp. A very large hardcover book with dust jacket. | Includes accompanying music CD. | Forty Greek Shells, published on the occasion of the Greek Presidency of the Council of Europe, reveals to us a small but fascinating part of the Aegean sea-bed. These forty shells - the same number as the member-states of the Council of Europe - make up a cosmos of unique variety and beauty. They remind us that the Aegean Archipelago, the sea which for millennia has been a channel of communication, a place where people and cultures have met and co-operated, should remain what it is today: a body of some of the cleanest water in the world. --Elissabet Papazoi, Minister of the Aegean. -- -- -- -- -- -- Dimitris Mytaras is a Professor in the School of Fine Arts, Athens.
