Published by Faber and Faber, 1979, hardcover, illustrated, index, 288 pages, condition: as new.

As every reader of Durrell knows, his writing is steeped in the living experience of the Mediterranean and especially the islands of Greece. This text weaves together evocative descriptions, history and myth, architectural and archaeological study and personal reminiscence. With one hundred outstanding photographs, this book is another classic by Durrell who knew Greece as well as anyone in history as well as a systematic exploration of the many islands of the Aegean Sea some well-known and others more obscure.

A dreamy nostalgic reminiscence of Greece before the arrival of tourism en masse. Durrell, for the most part, manages to find a perfect balance between the informational and the descriptional value he presents to the reader. Partly an autobiographical novel, partly a tourist guide and partly a pop-anthropology, this book makes a perfect read for anyone vacationing on any of the islands covered in the book (but especially Crete or Rhodes), or longing to be there. Once finished with reading, one feels less like a tourist and more like a distant cousin from far away revisiting the land of his forefathers, which he knows only from stories - quite familiar but still fairly unknown and waiting to be intimately explored, which makes a great call to adventure.
