| Summary, etc | "Wandering in Nafplion, by Keith Sturgess, is an unconventional book in that although it is very clearly about the historical, scenic and touristically favoured town of Nafplion, in the Greek Peloponnese, specifically the historic Old Town of 500 or so buildings, it refuses to settle down into being any one of the three possible genres that such a book might take - namely, a history, a tourist guide or a memoir. The fact that it is not the latter is referred to in the slightly mocking title of Chapter 1, "Not a year in Provence". There is history here, lots of it, and there is a walking tour of town (which is Chapter 9), but rather, this is a lover's approach, an appraisal, personal, even a little cranky, of a much cherished element in the writer's life of the last fifteen years. So objectivity consorts with the highly personal, and sober assessment sits hand in glove with the idiosyncratic. The longer chapters are essays, ruminations on a particular theme. Comparisons and people are everywhere, despite the (again somewhat mocking) title of Chapter 4. And there are jokes." -- Publisher's description. |
