Jan Morris
' Nothing short of a masterpiece'
Review
' Nothing short of a masterpiece' (Jan Morris )
'A treasure chest of descriptive writing' (Spectator )
'Not only is the journey one of physical adventure but of cultural awakening. Architecture, art, genealogy, quirks of history and language are all devoured - and here passed on - with a gusto uniquely his' (Colin Thubron, Sunday Telegraph )
'Every page of this book is distinguished by an image, a metaphor, a flash of humour always original and sometimes as incisive as a laser beam.' (Vincent Cronin )
'A tremendous journey ... and he's fabulous company' (Manchester Evening News )
' This is a traveller's tale at its infectious and informative best; vividly remembered and beautifully written' (Church Times )
'John Murray is doing the decent thing and reissuing all of Leigh Fermor's main books ... But what else would you expect from a publisher whose commitment to geography is such that for more than two centuries it has widened our understanding of the world?' (Geographical Magazine )
'Rightly considered to be among the most beautiful travel books in the language' (Independent )
'Bringing the landscape alive as no other writer can, he uses his profound and eclectic understanding of cultures and peoples ... to paint vivid pictures - nobody has illuminated the geography of Europe better' (Geographical Magazine )
