Description

An interesting account of the author's solo travels in Greece in the1930's - on foot or mule-back wherever necessary.In addition to the historic sites he also describes the life of the local people he encountered. One observation was that they had endured "four wars in ten years, debacle and expatriations" but also that "Pride of religion and language, common customs, mercantile achievements in every part of the globe gave the Greek people a common outlook.The achievements and power of the State rank low in the esteem of an individualist and much-tried race" 287p.+ 16 plates Neat tight copy, slight scuffing of blue cloth covers, else near fine ,
