Greece

Discover Greece—a country that has inspired centuries of travel—through its best modern writers. Against a superb landscape of islands, rocks, caves, villages, windmills, vineyards, cities, ports, beaches, and ruins, all bathed in the rich light of the Mediterranean, these twenty-four stories draw from the long oral and written evolution of the Greek literary tradition. Incorporating myths, the meditative tranquillity of the region, and a past full of struggle and civil war, these stories are arranged by geographical region for the traveler and provide an enriching odyssey through the Greek landscape and mind.

A first-rate collection. . . . Showcasing the work of such well-known modern writers as (Nobel Prize–winners) Odysseus Elytis, and George Seferis, Nikos Kazantzakis, and Vassilis Vassilikos. . . . The fifth volume in a valuable series.
