The Mani, at the tip of Greece's--and Europe's--southernmost
promontory, is one of the most isolated regions of the world. Cut
off from the rest of the country by the towering range of the
Taygetus and hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian seas, it is a land
where the past is still very much a part of its people's daily
lives.
Patrick Leigh Fermor, who has been described as "a cross between
Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Graham Greene," bridges the genres
of adventure story, travel writing, and memoir to reveal an ancient
world living alongside the twentieth century. Here, in the book
that confirmed his reputation as one of the English language's
finest writers of prose, Patrick Leigh Fermor carries the reader
with him on his journeys among the Greeks of the mountains,
exploring their history and time-honored lore.
"Mani" is a companion volume to Patrick Leigh Fermor's celebrated
"Roumeli: Travels in Northern Greece."
