"The Mani, at the heart of Europe's southernmost promontory, is one of the remotest, wildest and most isolated regions in Greece. Cut off from the rest of the country by the towering range of the Taygetus and hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian seas, it is a land where an ancient relationship with the past has remained alive - on a daily basis.
Here, in the book that confirmed his reputation as one of the English language's finest exponents, Patrick leigh Fermor carries the reader with him on his journeyings amongst the Greeks of the mountains, exploring their history and time honoured lore."--
