Description

After enjoying a"'A Vagabond Journey Around the World:" Franck proceeded to explore some counties in more detail. He describes modern Greece as he saw it c.1925 in his " plain, somewhat sardonic style.His books intimately recorded life as it was lived in the societies he visited, at a time when many of them were changing rapidlly, So his explorations of places he visited, his detailed enquiries and his experience with the people he met provided him with a personal and opinionated snapshot of Greeks as they were then - just as the country was faced with serious political economic and social changes. Illustrated with contemporary photographs .359p. plates decorative maps on end papers by George Annand, Very nice unmarked copy, but the original green DJ is now sun faded to beige and tan.
