Cyprus, spring 1972. Tensions are rising between the Greek South
and the Turkish North. Within two years, the country will become
divided. It is at this distinctive time in history British travel
writer Colin Thubron embarks on a 600 mile trek across the country.
Moving from Greek villages to Turkish towns, the author of Shadow
of the Silk Road and Night of Fire provides a profound look into
the people of Cyprus - from Orthodox monks to wedding parties to
peasant families - against the landscape of a beautiful
Mediterranean island on the eve of chaos and tragedy. A remarkable
quest rich in literature, classics and architecture, Journey Into
Cyprus ingeniously intertwines the history and politics of Cyprus
and its mythical past with the tumultuous present - from the master
of travel books and writing, Colin Thubron. 'An accomplished
linguist and historian, his passionate concern for antiquity in all
its aspects - mythological, architectural, conceptual - lends
weight and warmth to every chapter' Financial Times
