The Greek Island by Lawrence Durrell

As every reader of Durrell knows, his writing is steeped in the living experience of the Mediterranean and especially the islands of Greece. This text weaves together evocative descriptions, history and myth, architectural and archaeological study and personal reminiscence. With one hundred outstanding photographs, this book is another classic by Durrell who knew Greece as well as anyone in history as well as a systematic exploration of the many islands of the Aegean Sea some well-known and others more obscure.
