Revue de presse

with a heady mix of scholarship, history and imagination and a magical turn of phrase from Paddy Fermor (Manchester Evening News)
A natural hero (Manchester Evening News)
Not to be missed, Yammas! (Manchester Evening News)
Mani is an extraordinary book of adventure and encounter, fantasy and learning, observation and experience ... it is a wonderfully rich book, richer for the warmth of the Philhellenism which Leigh Fermor betrays throughout. (Sunday Times)
He supercharges his narrative with a combination of tenderness and high spirits appropriate to his past achievements as a guerrilla leader in Crete. (Daily Telegraph)
Présentation de l'éditeur
The author observes: 'All of Greece is absorbing and rewarding. There is hardly a rock or stream without a battle or myth or miracle or a peasant anecdote or a superstition; and talk and incident, nearly all of it odd or memorable, thicken round the traveller's path at every step.'
In Mani, one of the 'two best travel books of the century', Patrick Leigh Fermor fully bears this out. His glorious fusion of scholarship, history and imagination is a joy to read.

MANI : Travels in the Southern Peloponnese
Vendeur : Amazing Book Company, Liphook, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Soft cover. Etat : New. John Craxton (illustrateur). First Thus. This new, seemingly unread copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued. The contents are bright, tight, white and square. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This is Patrick Leigh Fermor's spellbinding part-travelogue, part inspired evocation of a part of Greece's past. Joining him in the Mani, one of Europe's wildest and most isolated regions, cut off from the rest of Greece by the towering Taygettus mountain range and hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian seas, we discover a rocky central prong of the Peleponnese at the southernmost point in Europe. Bad communications only heightening the remoteness, this Greece - south of ancient Sparta - is one that maintains perhaps a stronger relationship with the ancient past than with the present. Myth becomes history, and vice versa. Leigh Fermor's hallmark descriptive writing and capture of unexpected detail have made this book, first published in 1958, a classic. Ref A5 7.
