First published 1946, First Edition. 213 pages all intact, all pages and text are in good, clean, readable order. Printed in Great Britain by H.J. Chapman & Co Limited, Ledbury. This charming, beguiling story of an intensely happy boyhood spent in Salonica at the turn of the century, when the capital of Macedonia was still under Turkish rule, is the story of a man, the picture of a city, and the portrait of an era. The living, breathing background for Farewell to Salonica is the little Balkan world which reflects in microcosm the turbulent history of our times. Mr Sciaky has lived in a part of the world where change and cruelty and crises never have been new things, yet he has carried over from his youth a very healthy appetite for life and for sharing it, and his book is studded with bits of poetry and humorous proverbs, not as embellishment merely, but as threads in the warp and woof of a life in a loved place never forgotten.
