'Out of the sea, as if Homer himself had arranged it for me, the
islands bobbed up, lonely, deserted, mysterious in the fading
light' Enraptured by a young woman's account of the landscapes of
Greece, Henry Miller set off to explore the Grecian countryside
with his friend Lawrence Durrell in 1939. In The Colossus of
Maroussi he describes drinking from sacred springs, nearly being
trampled to death by sheep and encountering the flamboyant Greek
poet Katsumbalis, who 'could galvanize the dead with his talk'.
This lyrical classic of travel writing represented an epiphany in
Miller's life, and is the book he would later cite as his
favourite. 'One of the five greatest travel books of all time' Pico
