Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Whether vibrating with the golden light of sunset or blanketed by the fog of a chilly night, Brukoff's photographs bring the viewer in touch with the land. He is an apt companion for Gage's return - like Odysseus (to The rocky hills of Greece')

Reseña del editor:

Greece is a legendary destination and anyone who has once fallen under its spell dreams of returning again and again. Here is a marvelous record of this enchanting land, portraying the essence of Greece - its striking sea and landscape, its peoples, its culture and history and its ancient monuments. From the tip of the Peloponnese to the remote mountain villages of the north to the islands of the Aegean, Brukoff's brilliant colour images and Gage's evocative words delineate the heart of Greece. Included are the great classical ruins, Byzantine monasteries, colourful fishing villages, chairs at outdoor tavernas, octopus drying in the sun like laundry and the ubiquitous cats - the vivid details that each traveller takes home as a memory. Gage's insightful essays on Greece's turbulent history, its myths and beliefs, village life, the age-old wisdom and spirit of the people and, above all, 'Greece's unearthly, spiritual, almost holy light' are a passionate tribute to an extraordinary country.
