Mani – Travels in the Southern Peloponnese

This is the absorbingly impassioned account of Patrick Leigh Fermor`s travels amongst the remote Greek Mountains, where he explores the history and myths of the local people. Isolated from the rest of the country by the towering range of the Taygettus and hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian Seas, this part of Mediterranean Europe still mantains close ties to a previous era. What emerges is a brilliant evocation of the past, a glorious fusion of history and the present, which is enlivend by Leigh Fermor`s acute powers of observation and his descriptive prowess.
